Are they EVER gonna fix the transparency problem in PowerPoint X?

[Matthew Winslow]

It worked great with PNG files when I first bought Office X.

Since the update...it looks terrible.

Hi Matthew,

Is update you're referring to the Office update or a system update?

Well, no response from Matthew.

At any rate, I'm sure that Microsoft is aware of the problem. Hopefully this
will be fixed in some future version of Office.

Jim:

There are numerous posts on the transparency problem for png files in
PowerPoint X.

I bought Office X even before it shipped, so my install CDs are 1st
generation.

Before the SR1 updater, Powerpoint X (and 2001) would correctly interpret
transparency masks.

After SR1, its grainy.

Apple lists this problem on their support web site (under Keynote) as a bug
in Powerpoint X.

So, is Microsoft ever gonna fix the darn thing...if not, then PowerPoint on
Mac is irrelevant.

Microsoft maintains a database of customer feedback so they can set
priorities for fixing things. Problems that only affect 1 or 2 people may
not be fixed if they require lots of programming time.

This particular issue has come up often enough that I think it stands a good
chance of being addressed, but unless users send feedback to Microsoft
directly (they don't usually have time to read the newsgroup postings) then
the subject won't get into the feature request database as a priority.

To whomever reads this, not just Matt, if this is of interest to you please
take a moment to let Microsoft know you would like to see the transparency
problem fixed.

To notify Microsoft use the feedback feature on the Help menu of PowerPoint
