- General limits
- The tests are done on Office 365 version 16.0 build 13127.
- The add-in is written in VBA. VBA cannot read some elements and properties from the PowerPoint Object Model, like for instance the background textures. There are also a few VBA errors like gradient colors where the colors are rendered a little differently.
- To overcome these limits, the only possibility would be to read the saved PowerPoint file, which is not the goal of the add-in, so we have to live with that.
- Supported elements
- Support of basic shapes: background color, transparence, lines (dash, solid), text.
- Release changes
- 0.1.0 (initial)
- Support
- Lots of elements are not supported yet, so please don't post issues concerning them. See this detailed list of [supported elements](supported elements.md).
