Revisions that affect all PPTools add-ins
28 November, 2006Added a workaround for a problem caused by some WebEx software (on starting PPT you see repeated error messages). With the workaround, you'll see the error messages ONLY the first time you start PPT after installing the WebEx software; they'll stop after that. We're working with WebEx to correct the problem that causes this.
13 September, 2006- Fixed a problem that caused diagnostic reports to fail under PowerPoint 97
- Add-ins now install under the PowerPoint 2007 Beta Preview, though we cannot guarantee they'll work reliably
