Using AutoSizeTextToFitShape problems

[MeSteve]

I am using this to automatically shrink text in a PPT show after creating a
text box. The problem is that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I
cannot figure out what is causing the intermittancy.

With oProjDesc
With TextFrame
....
End With
With .TextFrame2
.AutoSize = msoAutoSizeTextToFitShape
End With
End With

Upon further investigation, the values in the saved ppt file are set to
wordwrap and auto size text to fit both checked but the text itself is not
being shrunk. I have even stepped through the code manually and you can see
the text shruck down by the line of code. The text is back to 16pt when you
open the file though.

I am having the same problems running PowerPoint 2003 11.8227.8202 SP3 on
WinXP Professional 2002 SP2. All of my slides use the same template. Some
work correctly, some don't. I can manually correct problems, but after I
save, quit, and re-open the file, the problem is back again. Grrrr!
