Finding the name of shape in a macro?

[Don Wiss]

If the user's focus is in a Rectangle or Text Box, and they press a button
that calls a macro, how can the macro determine the name of that shape? (So
it can select it and do a CheckSpelling.)

Hi Don

To return the type of object selected, try
MsgBox "The object selected is a " & TypeName(Selection)

To return the name of the object selected, try
MsgBox "The name of the object selected is " & Selection.Name
