Re: Bug: diff-ppt.js does not work with Office'07

AFAIK, that is not possible: that method was removed in PowerPoint 2007.

According to the posts in

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.powerpoint

people export the outlines to Microsoft Word and compare there,
or export them to pdf [1] and compare pdfs,
see the following posts:

I am not an Office 2007 user myself. Just trying to find an answer.
