Is it possible to programmatically select part of a Visio Shape's text?

Hi Marx,
Look at the Characters object of a shape (in the developer reference)
You've got shp.Text, and also shp.Characters.
The Characters object allows you to select runs of text via the Begin
and End properties. This allows you to programatically manipulate bits
of text on a shape.
I'm not sure if you can visually select sub-strings in the UI, however.

Thanks guys. The Characters object is helpful. A backColor property in
CharProps would have been good to highlight the relevant text.
I appreciate the tips.
