With a simple hexagon in the UI, I did it by clicking "More Lines" in the
Line Style control, and setting the Transparency of the line to 100%.
So then I tried it in AppleScript this way:
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
set s to slide 1 of presentation 1
set transparency of line format of shape 3 of s to 1.0
end tell
That did exactly the same thing. No shadows.
Were you setting the transparency of the line format of the shape, or of the
shape itself? Try it with the line format. It works here. If you're using
some sort of shape where it doesn't work - what sort of shape? And how do
you do it in the UI?
