Cant get to textBox properties

[Roger Seiler]

I got stuck with this:

Dim myTB As Shape
Set myTB = Application.ActivePresentation.Slides(2).Shapes("217")


MsgBox myTB.Type
With myTB
.MultiLine = True
.WordWrap = True
.Value = "-----------"
End With

I get an error with setting the .MultiLine but in the message box I can see
that it is a text box.
What have I done wrong?

The MultiLine property is a property of a control textbox, not a regular
shape with a TextFrame. What are you trying to do that you want to set
MultiLine to True?
