That is exactly what I have been doing and everything I try doesn't work. At
this point it looks like something that is NOT available in VBA. I've looked
through the object browser AND an instance variable when a script is running.
I just don't see the particular color attribute I am looking for. Imhave
plugged values into all of them to no success.

would do is root around in the new shapes object model using the object
browser and immediate window, until I figured out which commands made the
changes I needed.
