Text Box Length
I created a macro that auto sizes a text box. I would like for the macro to
tell me the length of that text box. (I believe this is simply the number of characters in the text box.) How do I do this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |

Text Box Length
The width (in points) will be returned by .Width property of the listbox.
Caution: if empty, the listbox seems to have a minimum width of 12.75 The width is dependent upon the characters' with with proportional fonts: '0000000000 will give a larger width than iiiiiiiiii HTH -- AP "CWillis" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

Text Box Length
Can you give an example of the .width command? I can't get it to work. I
also can't get the .TextLength command to work. I'm not sure how to use it. Here is the code that auto sizes the box. Sub testing() ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text Box 1").Select With Selection .AutoSize = True End With End Sub Thanks.
