Example

This example adds an oval to the active document and specifies that the document text wrap around the left and right sides of the square that circumscribes the oval. The example sets a 0.1-inch margin between the document text and the top, bottom, left side, and right side of the square.

Set myOval = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeOval, _
    0, 0, 200, 50)
With myEll.WrapFormat
    .Type = wdWrapSquare
    .Side = wdWrapBoth
    .DistanceTop = InchesToPoints(0.1)
    .DistanceBottom = InchesToPoints(0.1)
    .DistanceLeft = InchesToPoints(0.1)
    .DistanceRight = InchesToPoints(0.1)
End With
