Issue
User reported (Oct 9, 2025) that the PowerPoint add-in shows
InvalidArgumenterror when processing slides.Root Cause
Production code at
office-addins.dust.ttis outdated and doesn't include the fixes from September 11, 2025.The problem: Production tries to read text from all shapes (including images/charts), which don't have text properties.
The fix: Code was updated to filter shapes by type first, only reading text from text-capable shapes. This fix is already in the repository but not deployed.
