Accessing custom properties on drop

[Jason V]

I have VBA code dropping a master shape from the stencil with the following
ThisDocument.Pages("StencilName").Drop mstStencil, ShapePinX, ShapePinY
The master shape also has some custom properties such as text, width, height.

When I drop the shape I also want to put values in these properties, how can
zI do this?

Thanks

The Drop method returns a shape object, you need to store this, then
access this shape's .Cells[<cellname>] properties to set the other
values.

Thanks Paul. What is the syntax for accessing this?
After I do a drop of a shape say ShapeName I tried
ShapeName.Cells [width] = 1, but I get an error.

you might try something like this
Set visCell = devShape.Cells("width")
visCell.formulau = ""32""

there are a number of cell manipulation examples in the sdk
