Example
As it applies to the Callout and Shape objects.
This example formats the callout type of the specified shape if the shape is a callout. This example assumes there is at least one shape on the first page of the active publication.
Sub SetCalloutType()
With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes(1)
If .Type = pbCallout Then
With .Callout
.Border = msoTrue
.Type = msoCalloutThree
End With
End If
End With
End Sub
As it applies to the WrapFormat object.
The following example adds an oval to the active publication and specifies that the publication text wrap around both the left and right sides of the square that surrounds the oval.
Sub SetTextWrapType()
Dim shpOval As Shape
Set shpOval = ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes.AddShape( _
Type:=msoShapeOval, Left:=36, Top:=36, _
Width:=100, Height:=35)
With shpOval.TextWrap
.Type = pbWrapTypeSquare
.Side = pbWrapSideBoth
End With
End Sub
As it applies to the Selection object.
This example checks to see if the selection is text and if it is, makes the selected text bold.
Sub IfCellData()
Dim rowTable As Row
If Selection.Type = pbSelectionText Then
Selection.TextRange.Font.Bold = msoTrue
End If
End Sub
