Text.Overflow property

Determines whether or not the text overflows the chain of linked text frames

Syntax:

Property Get Overflow() As Boolean

Remarks:

The Overflow property returns True if the amount of text in a chain of linked paragraph-text frames exceeds the space available.

Examples:

The following VBA example adjusts the height of a paragraph-text frame to accommodate any overflowing text.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrTopLeft
  For Each s In ActiveDocument.ActivePage.Shapes
    If s.Type = cdrTextShape Then
      If s.Text.Type = cdrParagraphText Then
        If s.Text.Overflow Then AdjustFrame s
        End If
      End If
    Next s
  End Sub
  Private Sub AdjustFrame(s As Shape)
    Dim h As Double
    h = s.SizeHeight / 10
    While s.Text.Overflow
      s.SizeHeight = s.SizeHeight + h
    Wend
  End Sub
