Manipulate ActiveX TextBoxes in a Word Document using VBA

Change Content of Embedded Textboxes in Word using VBA

Word Document might contain text boxes embedded in it as Inlineshapes. In that case, it can be manipulated using VBA as follows:

Sub Document_TextBoxes()

Dim oCtl As InlineShape

Dim oTB

For Each oCtl In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes

If oCtl.OLEFormat.ProgID = "Forms.TextBox.1" Then

Set oTB = oCtl.OLEFormat.Object

oTB.Text = "Sample Text"

End If

Next

End Sub

    Thanks ever so much. It took me ages to find out how to run through each textbox in an ActiveX control and this is perfect.
