  • Article
Publisher Developer Reference

Returns a TextRange object that reflects the position of the inline shape in its containing text range. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.InlineTextRange

expression   A variable that represents a Shape object.

Remarks

The returned text range will contain a single object representing the inline shape. An automation error is returned if the shape is not inline.

Example

The following example finds the first shape (a text box) on the first page of the publication, and determines if the text range within the text box contains inline shapes. If inline shapes are found, the InlineTextRange property is used to represent the inline shape after a block of text is inserted.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Dim theShape As Shape
Dim theTextRange As TextRange
Dim i As Integer

Set theShape = ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes(1)


If Not theShape.IsInline = True Then
With theShape.TextFrame.Story.TextRange
If .InlineShapes.Count > 0 Then
Set theTextRange = theShape.TextFrame.Story.TextRange
For i = 1 To .InlineShapes.Count
With .InlineShapes(i)
.InlineTextRange.InsertAfter (" (Figure " & i & ") ")
End With
Next
End If
End With
End If
