Hi Aaron,
Use
Dim i As Integer, mystring As String
mystring = ""
For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Shapes.Count
mystring = mystring & ActiveDocument.Shapes(i).TextFrame.TextRange.Text
Next i
ActiveDocument.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = mystring
Please respond to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be
interested.
Hope this helps
