title: Unable to change button's appearance properties
body: <p>I have a button that, when clicked, sets off a macro. I would like to change the Text and the BackColor properties when this happens, however it seems it does not have access to these properties. I get the below error with both lines.</p>
  
  <pre><code>ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("excelToPPT").Fill.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 0)
  ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("excelToPPT").TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Working..."
  </code></pre>
