I found some Excel spreadsheets that were created by other users.
In one workbook the creator used a text box & drawing tools to create
fancy 3D text with stripes on the letters. Does anyone know which
option(s) draw diagonal stripes on letters?

I've tried highlighting the text, right-clicked, and looked at "Format
Text Effects" and "Format Shape". I've also looked at "Shape Fill"
and "Texture", but I can't find out how this text effect was created.

Is there a good way to find out what effects have been applied to
text inside a text box?

Did you look at *Insert Wordart*?

I looked but found no Wordart that creates text with slanted stripes
over the font.

Does VBA have a means to inspect the object and enumerate
through the object properties, and show me what styles were
applied to the object?

Perhaps the text was created externally and inserted as an image?

It's actually a font with several styles applied. If I click in the middle
of the string I can start typing. The new letters that I type retain the
same style with diagonal stripes.

What does it show for a fontname?
Are the stripes 3D effects?
