I really can't say for sure, but my *guess* would be the age of the code
base on which PPt is built. It goes back to when graphics were a pup. The
arrival of 2008 possibly lays a foundation for enhancement, but I wouldn't
look for it any time soon.

As Steve suggested, customer demand also plays a big part. If you have any
suggestions/requests, use Help> Send Feedback to submit them to the MacBU
data bank - they do evaluate those submissions. It's suggested that if you
have multiple issues that you enter each one separately & include
sup****ting
details for it's usefulness - Simply "I want..." just don't cut it :-)
