Couldn't find some features

[FenchD]

Thanks for the awesome tools. After I install the latest ppam on Mac Ventura , Powerpoint 16.71, the add-in give dozens of warnings:

"InstrumentaPowerpointToolbar_new 中的自定义 UI 运行时错误.在“/Users/fenchD/Downloads/InstrumentaPowerpointToolbar_new.ppam”的自定义 UI XML 中发现错误: 行: 9 列: 64 错误代码 0x80004005 无法修改内置控件的某些属性: FontSize"

Then I couldn't find all the "advanced" features on the ribbon, eg:

• Remove unused master slides
• Convert slides to pictures (readonly)

Could you give me some instruction?

Thank you.

I cannot really read these error warnings. Where do you install the ppam file? On my Mac it is on Macintosh HD > Users > {my username} > Library > Appllication Scripts > com.microsoft.Powerpoint

The functions you cannot find are here:

Thank you.

About the first problem, I have tried to put the .ppam and .applescript in the folder as you do. But dozens of warning still pop up.

Here's my powerpoint version

According to PowerPoint there seems to be an error in the CustomUI-code that determines what the Ribbon looks like. This only happens on Mac, probably because of the fact that there are differences between Mac an Windows versions (and what you can do with the Ribbon). It is very difficult to keep the plugin compatible with both Mac and Windows.

I never experienced this message because in my PowerPoint a setting prevents the display of these messages. See the second check mark in the screenshot below (sorry it is in Dutch...). If you go to PowerPoint settings --> General and uncheck the 2nd check mark then these messages will not be shown. This setting has always been unchecked in my PowerPoint.

This is a workaround, not a solution, so will look in the underlying problem.

Thank you. I tried your suggestion and it works. Here is some information about the warnings, if it could help you to locate the problem: There are 2 kinds of warnings, which are "Some properties of build-in controls can not be modified" and "Failed to find office control by ID". Each kind shows up the following widget name:

Thanks for all the details. That really helps! Will look into it.

I don't have a solution, other than the workaround. Closing for now. If anyone has a solution please let me know ;-)
