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

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Try like this

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