I have a workbook which contains multiple pages and on each page is a
"notes" section that is simply an Excel text box (created from the
drawing toolbar) and I would like to write a routine that can
refference the text inside of the box. Is there a way to do this?

Let's say its name is "Text Box 1"

I thought there would be something like TextBox1.value, Shapes("Text
Box 1").text etc to refference it, but I can't figure it out. If you
could help me figure out a way to pull the text in the text box into a
variable or refference it somehow I think I'd have it from there.

Thanks so much,
Jamie
