Rounded Rectangle
I have an old worksheet, created many years ago using Excel 3, but it has
survived over the years and is currently in Excel 2003. It has on it some shapes described as "Rounded Rectangle" by Excel's own Alt text created when the sheet is saved as a web page. These Rounded Rectangles seem to be slightly different from Text Boxes and from Command Buttons, as they can be rotated. (In the descriptive box near the formula bar they are called "Text 123" whereas text boxes are called "Text Box 123" and Buttons are called "Button 123". I cannot find how to create a new shape of this type, other than by copying/pasting an old one then changing the text and size etc (which is what I've been doing for many years!). I'd like to make one from scratch, so I can record myself making it and then I can edit the macro etc. -- Adrian D.Bailey, Information and Systems Manager, Dept.Human Sciences Loughborough University, Loughborough Leics, LE11 3TU, UK.

Rounded Rectangle
I expect your rounded rectangle can be formatted to look the same as your
original. Right click format, look at the Line formats. Or maybe a Shadow Shapes have an AlternativeText property, eg Sub test() Dim sh As Shape With Range("B3:C5") Set sh = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRoundedRectang le, _ .Left, .Top, .Width, .Height) End With sh.Name = "Rounded 1" ' error if name already exists sh.AlternativeText = "My rounded rectangle" End Sub Regards, Peter T "Adrian D. Bailey" wrote in message ... Thank you Peter. These rounded rectangles aren't exactly the same as my original, but they will do well enough. (The web alt text doesn't say Rounded Rectangle, the descriptive box by the formula bar says Autoshape instead of Text, and whn the object is selected the display doesn't have shading around the outside. All irrelevant differences, but indications that the objects are somehow different.) -- Adrian D.Bailey, Information and Systems Manager, Dept.Human Sciences Loughborough University, Loughborough Leics, LE11 3TU, UK.
