Thanks, Paul. Here's some resolution:
You can do it in the UI by choosing Color->No Line in the Line
Properties part of the palette.
Try this:
Set the transparency to 1.0, and then, set the shape's drop shadow to
visible. Notice that the shadow of the line still shows.
I achieved the result I wanted with the 'set shapes default
properties' command, and a stroke-less shape as the parameter.

If I set the transparency to 1, it hides the stroke, but the stroke
still has shadow.
Setting the width to 0 leaves a hairline...
I also tried to set the dash style property of the shape's line
format to "line dash unset", which should do it, but PowerPoint
seems
to not like to set properties to their 'unset' enumeration.
Can you do it in the UI? If so, how? If not, I doubt you'll be
able to do it
by AppleScript.
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?
