One general method of figuring out how something is done in VBA is to do
it in excel while recording a macro and then studying the macro.

That is true generally but FYI in Excel 2007 few, if any, actions taken on
shapes are recorded by the macro recorder. For example this is the code
recorded when I changed the fill color of a selected rectangle from blue to
red in Excel 2007:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
End Sub

MS made extensive changes to shapes in Excel 2007 and recording with regard
to them was broken. They told beta testers that they'd like to restore it
in a later version.
