Question

The TextFrame object:

Represents the text frame in a Shape object. Contains the text in the text frame and the propertie

Answer 1

According to Jon Peltier here: http://peltiertech.com/programming-excel-2007-2010-autoshapes-with-vba/

"The TextFrame2 member was added in Excel 2007 and gives better control over the formatting of the text. Because it is not backward compatible, I would recommend using the TextFrame object"

I'm guessing a similar situation applies in PPT.

Answer 2

In addition, TextFrame doesn't contain the property LanguageID in macOS, so you're forced to use TextFrame2. Be aware of that if you're working with that property in a cross-platform environment. I faced that problem in the past.
