Music won't play with starting slide

Data Labels on 07 Charts
I love the new charting engine in Version 2007...except one thing: handling data labels. I appreciate that I can format them as a group or individually, but the size of the label placeholder seems to be finite and fixed, causing funky word wrapping if formatted in a different face than the chart design calls for. I expected to be able to resize the label holder by selecting it individ...

Can I compare two versions of a presentation to find the changes?
I need to check parts of a set of presentations that have been updated into a number of new versions.
