Thank you very much Tom.


The sub works perfectly. I'll now work on figuring out how to enter text.
This is a major help to me since my original approach was to embed Visio
objects; that approach falls flat on its face when tried on computers not
having Visio.

adds the pyramid. I think you will have to play around with the object
model for these to figure out how to get the basic "node" for each type
(beyond changing the type property). Also, I believe these were added in
xl2003, so not available in earlier versions.

Are you just trying to discover the objects associated with that activity?

the shapes collection has an adddiagram method.
