Hello My word document contains two shapes. How to define name for each shape in word and access them using vba. other word access using sometimes like shapes("name1")....="Mytext" sometimes i have confusion when i insert a new shape in document. shape(1) becomes shape(2) joseph was telling us: joseph nous racontait que : > Hello > My word document contains two shapes. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > sometimes i have confusion when i insert a new shape in document. > shape(1) becomes shape(2) Sorry, I hit ALT-S before I was done... Anybody knows how to remove that shortcut from OE? It happens a lot to me... butter fingers.. I was going to correct the code, with he Selection object you have to use the ShapeRange property... Sorry about that. Selection.ShapeRange(1).Name = "myName" As I was writing, use the following code to refer to the shape later in your code: ActiveDocument.Shapes("theNameYouUsed").(Some method/property).... like: ActiveDocument.Shapes("myName").Fill.ForeColor = wdColorBlack etc.  SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org
