It looks like we've lost some functionality. Even the new ribbon commands
have the same non-result:

CommandBars.ExecuteMso "ShapeFreeform"

| excel.CommandBars.FindControl(,200).Execute
|
| The cursor does indeed change to that used for drawing a freeform
(ID=200),

button.

| Any ideas? Is the interface being deprecated?
