Default Copy a TextBox (shape)

Leith -

I'm not sure, its the type that you can create in Excel 2007 ...
Insert/Text/TextBox.

Hi Mark,

I haven't been able to do this without actually activating the 2nd
workbook
and worksheet and selecting the paste location. However, here is what I
have
that works but maybe someone else can do it better.

Windows("Book1").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes("TextBox1").Copy
Windows("Book4").Activate
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
Range("B8").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Hi -

I am working in C# VSTO and Excel 2007 but thought I'd ask how to do

this in
VBA and maybe it would help with the C# code.

I just want to copy a shape (textbox) with all of its text and

formating
(e.g., Bold, no fill, no line). And paste it multiple times down the

page
(via a loop), actually to a different workbook.

I've tried shape.copy but don't know how to paste it where I want

it.
I've tried shape.duplicate but can't get that to work either.

Much thanks for ideas.

Mark




Hello Mark,

"Shapes" is a very broad class. It would save a lot of time if we knew
which of three types of text boxes you wanted to copy: HTML, Forms, or
Control Toolbox.
