TextFrame.Path property

Returns a reference to the text's path, if the text is fitted to a path

Syntax:

Property Get Path() As Shape

Remarks:

The Path property returns a read-only reference to the path to which text is fitted.

Examples:

The following VBA example links frames of paragraph text. It then fits text to an ellipse and displays the index number of each frame that is fitted to a shape.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim s1 As Shape
  Dim s2 As Shape
  Dim t As Text
  Dim f As TextFrame
  Dim d As Document
  Set d = CreateDocument
  Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(2, 2, 5, 5, String$(1000, "Z"))
  Set s1 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(5, 5, 8, 8)
  Set s2 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(8, 8, 10, 10)
  Set t = s.Text
  ' Link the frames together.
  t.Frame.LinkTo s1
  ' Fit the text to the ellipse.
  s.Text.FitToPath s2
  ' Go through the frames.
  For Each f In t.Frames
    If f.IsFittedToPath = True Then
      Select Case f.Path.Type
        Case 2
          MsgBox "Frame " & f.Index & " is fitted to an ellipse."
        Case Else
          MsgBox "Frame " & f.Index & " is fitted to a shape."
      End Select
    End If
  Next f
End Sub
