VersionRelease DateDetails
Version 15.1.15October 29, 2015 Common to all pptXTREME Add-ins
  • pptXTREME is now compatible with Office 2016
  • pptXTREME is now compatible with Windows 10
  • Fixed: Error creating undo entry on PPT 2007 (command is now ignored as PPT 2007 does not support it)
moreEdit
  • Fixed: Save Selected – Workaround for error message created by bug in PowerPoint release 15.0.4719.1002
  • Fixed: Save Selected – Occasional error message stating you are not in sorter view even though you are.
Effects Library
  • Fixed: Bugs in creating menus when Effects Library cannot open the library
Photoshop Import
  • Fixed: Occasionally the bottom-most layer would size incorrectly. This happens when you have an empty content or picture placeholder on the slide. PowerPoint assumes the inserted picture should be sized to that shape, and resizes it automatically.
  • To fix this, we added an option in pptX Ribbon > Options > Photoshop Import > Delete Empty Placeholders (ON by default). This will automatically remove any empty placeholders from the PowerPoint Slide before importing from Photoshop.

Photoshop Import
  • Fixed: Changes to the mouse scroll wheel behavior so the scroll wheel scrolls the grid even after selecting elements in cells.
