SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You create a custom vector graphic shape that uses the limo parameter. The limo parameter allows for the stretching of the shape without affecting the ends of the shape.

You then save the document that contains the custom vector graphic shape in a 2007 Microsoft Office program. Then, you open the same document in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. In this scenario, the stretch ability of the custom vector graphic shape is lost when you open the document.
