Default Extracting values from Freeform shapes

When you make a shape (let's say a pentagon) with Freeform function, after
closing the lines it makes it possible to type in texts when you click on the
shape and start typing. I would like to transfer that text (a number) over
to a cell in a separate sheet.

I am trying to make a separate data sheet that collects numbers I type into
the Freeform shape text box. For example,

In one of the sheet called "08-02-08" there is a freeform shape named as
"Freeform 26".
In this text dialogue I'd like to type a value of "26" and I want this text
value to transfer over to a sheet called "Data Collect Sheet" cell "A1"
automatically.

If anyone knows how to accomplish this task it would be a great help for me
to let me know. Thank you.
