SYMPTOMS
You may get the following error message when running a macro that was recorded to change the text attributes of a selected object:

TextFrame (unknown member): Invalid request. This type of shape cannot have a TextRange.



CAUSE
This occurs because you have selected multiple objects that are grouped. The macro tries to change the text range of the group shape, which is not a valid request within PowerPoint.



WORKAROUND
If you ungroup your objects, you can run the macro separately for each object containing text, or you can manually change the text attributes by selecting the text and applying the changes.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Additional query words: 97 8.00 macro grouped font
