Hi and Thanks in advance!

I have inserted a shapes as follows:
Insert\Shapes\basic shapes\ and I have inserted the "Bevel 1" shape.



I have added a text to this Shape, say eg: "HELLO"

how can I get or modify this text by vba?

Happy new year!
 

Excel Facts

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Try like this

Code:
Sub bevel()
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Bevel 1").TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Hello World!"
End Sub
