I'm not sure of having understood, try: Sub MFR_Textbox() Dim Wks As Worksheet Dim rngSrch As Range Dim rngFind As Worksheet Dim rngFound As Range Dim oShp As Shape Dim oTotalRng As Variant Dim oTxtRng As Variant Dim oTxtRng1 As Variant Dim oTxtRng2 As Variant Dim intLength As Integer Dim intLineCount As Integer Dim intCnt As Integer Dim s As String Dim v On Error Resume Next Set Wks = Sheets("Sheet1") Set rngFind = Sheets("Glossary")
For Each oShp In Wks.Shapes s = oShp.TextFrame.Characters.Text v = Split(s, Chr(10)) For intCnt = 0 To UBound(v) oTxtRng2 = v(intCnt) oTxtRng1 = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim$(oTxtRng2) If Right(oTxtRng1, 1) = " " Then oTxtRng = Mid(oTxtRng1, 1, Len(oTxtRng1) - 1) Else oTxtRng = oTxtRng1 End If Cells(intCnt, 6).Value = oTxtRng Cells(intCnt, 7).Value = Len(oTxtRng) With rngFind Set rngFound = .Range("A:A").Find(What:=oTxtRng, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _ xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False) oShp.TextFrame.TextRange.Lines(intCnt).Text = rngFound.Offset(0, 1) End With Next intCnt Next oShp Set rngSrch = Nothing Set rngFind = Nothing Set rngFound = Nothing End Sub in the Excel object model, there are many problems for text into shape. regards r -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
