Data was linked to hidden shape data...

[Thomas Winkel]

Hi,

how can I get rid of this annoying warning message, when I link data to a shape with hidden data fields?

Data was linked to hidden shape data fields on some of your shapes

The user has to see and to edit some data via shape data window.
But there is also lot of data that I want to hide from the user due to usability reasons.

Thanks,
Thomas

I just noticed that MS has removed this message... Very good!

Does anyone know since when this has been the case, whether there was an official report on this and, whether one can rely on the fact that it will remain so?
