Enable "Edit Stencil" in macro

[Leigh Clow]

Hi,

I'm developing a macro that will ask the user for text input and develop a
custom icon from that input and insert it as a master shape into a stencil.
The problem is that unless I have the stencil already open and use the "Edit
Stencil" option, the macro crashes. Is there code for VBA to automatically
open a stencil and put it into edit mode? Thanks.

Use the OpenEx method of the stencilDocument
You will need to use the visOpenRW parameter value.
