Hi all -
This is a small DR to add to Part 1, section 20.1.10.55 (ST_ShapeType) a few values to the enumeration of values that represent predefined formulas used in the formulas that define shape guides.  The enumerated values use formula syntax that is defined in Part 1, section 20.1.9.11, so I also proposed adding a sentence pointing to that.  Lastly, in investigating this, a typo was discovered in an electronic annex - the file presetShapeDefinitions.xml in OfficeOpenXML-DrawingMLGeometries.zip that provides the XML defining all the predefined shapes in 29500.

Here is an example of a shape guide element:
<gd name="rh2" fmla="+- hd4 0 d" />
The fmla (formula) attribute defines the formula for the guide.  The prose in section 20.1.9.11 defines "+-" as an Add Subtract Formula, where "+- x y z" is equivalent to "((x+y)-z)".  "hd4" is already defined in Part 1, section 20.1.10.55 as 1/4 of the shape height, or a formula of "*/ h 1.0 4.0".  "h" is already defined as the shape height given by the <spPr> element.  Section 20.1.9.11 defines "*/" as a Multiply Divide Formula following the same pattern as +-.  This DR adds a few items similar to "hd4".

This was raised to us by a user.
