Powerpoint 2010 Transparent fill

In PP 2003 you can block fill shapes with transparent fill patterns which is extremely useful when producing graphics, on 2010 this appears not to be possible as patterned fill has not option to go from 0 > 100% transparency , has anyone found a solution to this as it appears to be the only fill type that is just available as solid.
Surely this is a backward move
Answer
Answer
I don't think it can be done from the GUI but it can in code

Example fill a shape with a pattern, select and run

Sub trans()
'50%transparent change for other values
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Fill.Transparency = 0.5
End Sub

Don't know what to do with the code SEE HERE
