VB Macros/Erasing pen drawings with EraseDrawing (possible bug?)

[Nicholas Clark]

Hi all,

I'm finishing up that macro set for a professor that I posted about a few
days ago, but there is still one snag I'm encountering. There is a command
"SlideShowWindows(1).View.EraseDrawing" that is documented as erasing all of
the pen marks in the current slideshow window, but I am having problems
making it work. In Powerpoint 2000, my primary test setup, the command works
just fine. In Powerpoint XP/2003, however, identical code does absolutely
nothing when executed.

Any thoughts on this?

Hmm. I've never used it before so I tried it, and I got the same results
you did (i.e., nothing in 2003) even though that line of code is directly
from the Help file.
