PowerPoint 2003 automation fails on 2007

VFP6 SP5 on WinXP Pro SP2

I have a class that generates PowerPoint presentations
via automation (VBA). It was designed using PowerPoint
2003. We now have some users who have Office 2007
installed and this automation (not surpirsingly) fails
on these machines with OLE errors.

Before I just dig into this to see what might need to
be changed to support PPT 2007, is there a document or
web page somewhere that specifically deals with the
differences in the object hierarchy, methods, and VBA
control between PowerPoint 2003 and 2007? I've done
some searching, but haven't come up with much.
