With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes
    ' Add an oval.
    .AddShape Type:=msoShapeOval, _
        Left:=180, Top:=200, Width:=280, Height:=130

    ' Add a callout.
    With .AddCallout(Type:=msoCalloutTwo, _
            Left:=420, Top:=170, Width:=170, Height:=40)

        ' Add text to the callout.
        .TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "This is an oval"

        ' Add an accent bar to the callout.
        With .Callout
            .Accent = msoTrue
            .Border = msoFalse
        End With
