Hi Kay,
How can I record a macro that contains a text box? Since
the mouse cannot be used during the recording of a maco, I
cannot draw the textbox.
You can do something like this:
Sub DrawATextbox()
Dim shp as Word.Shape
Set shp = _
ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox( _
Orientation:=msoTextOrientationHorizontal, _
Left:=120, Top:= 120, _
Width:=300, Height:=50
With shp
.Left = 50
.Top = 100
End With
End Sub
Depending on which version of Word you have, the Left, Top,
Width and Height may not work when you're doing the actual
inserting. So you use the With shp...End With to set anything
you want to change after it's been inserted. If you set up a
macro like this, then in an empty line between With shp...End
With press the period key(.), you should get a list of things
you can use.
