Remarks
Rectangles in Microsoft Word are sections within a page in a document that contain specific types of information. Some sections are portions of text; others are shapes. The purpose of rectangles is to allow more control over programmatic page layout.
Example
The following example accesses the first rectangle on the first page in the active document, and if it is a text rectangle, checks the spelling.
Dim objRectangle As Rectangle
Set objRectangle = ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow _
.Panes(1).Pages(1).Rectangles(1)
If objRectangle.RectangleType = wdTextRectangle Then
objRectangle.Range.CheckSpelling
End If
