I have a macro that's supposed to insert a Unicode character. I have one
particular file where the resulting character always shows (in a PPT 2007
system) one way, but in another file I've used it on it appears differently.
However, if I view both those files in PPT 2003, the displayed characters are
identical.
I'd like to find out just exactly what's going on in my PPT 2007, and if
there's any way to circumvent the problem.
If you go here (mind the line breaks):
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f29f2e7aae0ab657ab1eab3e9fa335ca1294446fa2eccb6c
you should be able to access 2 small .ppt files, and 2 .png files.
For each of the .ppt files, please open in PowerPoint 2007, and in debug
issue this command:
Set tr =
ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange.InsertSymbol(ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange.font.name, 10142, msoTrue)
On my PPT 2007 system, the two arrows look different, as you can see in the
2 screenshot .png files. On another PPT 2007 system I have, the two arrows
appear identical - it seems to be a problem peculiar to this particular PC.
I can't explain why they are different, and I really can't explain why I'm
getting what I get in Arrow Test 1, which appears to be a Wingdings 3
character 170.
Thanks for any insights you all can provide.
