Text.Type property

Gets text type: Artistic or Paragraph

Syntax:

Property Get Type() As cdrTextType

Remarks:

The Type property returns the type of a text object, indicating whether the object is artistic text or paragraph text and whether it is fitted to a curve.

The Type property returns a read-only value of cdrTextType.

Examples:

The following VBA example converts all paragraph-text objects to curves by first converting them to artistic text.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  For Each s In ActivePage.FindShapes(, cdrTextShape)
    If s.Text.Type = cdrParagraphText Then
      s.Text.ConvertToArtistic
      s.ConvertToCurves
    End If
  Next s
End Sub
