Is there a link to a similar site that's written in English? Or can you post
the solution here? Thanks.

I am also interested in finding this information but have had some
difficulty tracking it down even after translating the page.

Uhm... Windows XP doesn't have Autoshapes.

Sorry, I don't understand the point you're making.

This is a Powerpoint newsgroup, the question was about Powerpoint, all versions
of PowerPoint have autoshapes. How does Windows XP figure into this?

The point is that this is being cross-posted to a Windows XP newsgroup for
no apparent reason. Future discussion of this should probably eliminate the
cross-posting and keep it in the PowerPoint newsgroup as it is a PowerPoint
question.

If you are referring to the "PowerPoint-Ideenbuch" ("Book of
PowerPoint-Ideas") - no, it's currently only available in German.
