Access to subAddress Property of Hyperlinks in Powerpoint Javascript API
Recently my company has me developing a Taskpane Add-in for Powerpoint using the Javascript API. Right now the API is still missing a 'subAddress' property for the Powerpoint.Hyperlink class. My heart's deepest longing is to add a slide to a presentation with existing slide-to-slide hyperlinks, check those hyperlinks for discrepancies between the slide ID and the text (ie: a Hyperlink reading '13' that now links to slide 14), and finally correct the text to the subaddress ID of the hyperlink in Javascript. It is my burning passion to do this for every hyperlink in my presentation with the push of a button. In the interest of all mankind I would ask that the 'subAddress' property of the hyperlinks be available for use in addition to the 'address' and 'screenTip' properties which now exist. To the microsoft dev who can grant me this boon I offer half my kingdom. Truly there is no dev more favoured than thee.
M365 Developer Program Provisioning
Hello Team, I’m unable to complete the setup of my Microsoft 365 E5 Developer subscription. After signing in, the process gets stuck at: “Please wait while we load your personal information…” and eventually shows: “You can’t use a personal account here. Please sign in with a work or school account.” Steps I’ve already tried: * Used a brand-new email ID * Logged out of all Microsoft accounts on all devices * Cleared cache/cookies * Tried Edge InPrivate, Chrome Incognito, and mobile incognito * Tried accessing the portal directly (admin.microsoft.com / developer.microsoft.com) Still facing the same issue. Is this a known provisioning problem with the Developer Program? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!
Automating CRUD operations in MS Places
Hi, Has anyone been able to automate CRUD operations in MS Places yet? Given that the Places API calls support user access tokens only currently and Application access tokens isn't yet supported? We were able to do Get operations using App tokens but when run anything to modify, For Ex: Create a building using Set-Placev3 cmdlet it gives error. When raised an MS ticket they confirmed that the calls doesn't support application tokens yet.. We have a showstopper kind of situation.Why is Excel macros sometimes missing ?
I have an excel file with a lot of rectangular shapes showing a tree structure for a family. When the user clicks on one of the rectangulat shapes the 'story' of that person opens up in a Word dokument. BUT ... Most often the macro 'assigned' to the OnAction WONT run - instead this message comes up: The macros is NOT shown when I "show macros" but it IS present in the VBA section when I press alt+F11 ! When it's working it's most often reight after a reboot og the machine - then it maybe works in 10-30 minuts and then the problem is back again ! I HAVE chesked the security setting allowing macros to be activated ! I have tha SAME file running under Window 10 for years WITHOUT any problems !!!! I can see out there that people FOR YEARS have had similar problems with missing macros - but unfortunately I found no solution ! What the _BEEP_ is wrong here ?Unable to create a new E5 Developer subscription
Hi all! I'm trying to apply for a free E5 Developer subscription, to try out an MS Teams apps and MS 365 add-ins development workflow, while my employer evaluates whether to get into the market. I've joined the MS 365 Developer Program with my personal account, and they say, I should see a big blue "Set up E5 subscription" button on my dashboard. The problem is - I have nothing in its place. Does anybody know if this program is still continued? Maybe I did something wrong in configuring my account? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Andrey
Macros crashed Word, then disappeared, now back again but not working
My problem started with a few macros in Word (Office 365) crashing Word, then the list macros, while still showing up with Alt+F8, disappeared from VBA. I played around with templates and such, and now have the VBA showing the whole list of macro scripts. However, there is a red scroll icon on my macros list and I have had the message "Your organizations administrator turned off the service required to use this feature", which is odd because I am the administrator (this is a home Office 365 subscription). So I can see the macros in VBA but I can't run any of them, nor can I create any new macros. How do I get my macros up and running again? (I tried to 'repair' Office, and after the full repair ended up with a version of Word that isn't as customised as it used to be.) And what might be the cause of this problem?
Inquiry Regarding Microsoft 365 E5 Developer Subscription Renewal
Dear Microsoft Support, I hope this message finds you well. I am a developer currently enrolled in the Microsoft 365 E5 Developer Subscription program. Recently, I noticed that my subscription has not been automatically renewed, and I am unsure why this has occurred. Could you please clarify whether the Microsoft 365 E5 Developer plan is still available? If it is, I would appreciate your assistance in investigating why my subscription was not renewed and guidance on how to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.
PowerPoint JS API: Can't Create Lines with Negative Slope Using addLine
We are encountering a technical issue with the PowerPoint JavaScript API when attempting to create lines with negative slope (lines that go upward from left to right). Despite various approaches, we can only create lines with a positive slope (going downward from left to right). Reproduction Steps: Using the ShapeCollection.addLine method to create lines Attempting to create a line that goes upward (with a negative slope) Regardless of the parameters passed, the lines always render with a positive slope Code Examples and Results Example 1: Attempt to create an upward sloping line const upLine = shapes.addLine(PowerPoint.ConnectorType.straight, { left: 250, top: 300, width: 100, height: -200 // Negative height should create upward slope }); Result: Line appears to go downward with a positive slope despite the negative height value Example 2: Attempt to create two connecting lines (a V shape) // First line - downward const leftLine = shapes.addLine(PowerPoint.ConnectorType.straight, { left: 150, top: 100, width: 100, height: 200 }); // Second line - intended to go upward const rightLine = shapes.addLine(PowerPoint.ConnectorType.straight, { left: 250, top: 300, width: 100, height: -200 }); Logged Coordinates: Left line: start(150,100), end(250,300) Right line: start(250,300), end(350,100) Result: While the coordinates look correct, the actual line rendering doesn't match these coordinates. Both lines appear to have positive slopes. Expected Behavior: We expect to be able to create lines with negative slopes (going upward from left to right) by specifying a negative height value, which should represent a decrease in the Y coordinate as X increases. Actual Behavior: The API seems to normalize or ignore the negative height value, resulting in lines that always have a positive slope regardless of the height parameter's sign. Technical Environment: PowerPoint Add-in Using PowerPoint JavaScript API Impact: This limitation prevents us from creating basic geometric shapes like V, triangles, or other shapes that require lines with different slopes in our add-in. Additional Information: We've ruled out simple parameter errors by logging the actual coordinates of the lines. The coordinates appear correct in the logs but don't match what's rendered on screen. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue. Let me know if you'd like to include your version/platform info or tweak any part before posting!
to big title bar in Office 365 update 2408
Hi all, since a couple of days I have to work with the ugly, annoying, awful, ... user interface in Office 365. The title bar size became horrible large. Compared with an explorer window from Win 10 it is nearly the double height. As an Office Poweruser (I'm working with the office products (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook) unluckily the whole day) I'm looking for smallen the title bar again. There was a registry hack, but on my machine this isn't working anymore. Because of the ribbon interface and a lot of not needed functions this is how my Quick Access Toolbars (QAT) are looking like: Now somebody could tell my, "OK, switch the QAT to the top, so that the title bar get more sense! Problem is, that the monochrome icons are absolutly boring AND especially for Word I can't differ between my macros, which I set with different colours. The title bar is smaller because of the standard buttons and the search field, so that not all my most loved commands have space here Dragging the window can not be done with the title bar, as it was since the beginning of time. I need to find some space somewhere. Does someone have an idea to reduce the size of the title bar as it was before? Or does someone have an idea to colorize the icons, when they are inside the title bar? If I consider that the taskbar is also increasing in size, especially in WIN 11 where this isn't adjustable, both sides (top + bottom) in sum are steeling to many space. Cheers! Kay
