Hi ÃÖÁ¤¿í,

Anchor is an OPTIONAL argument, which is why it's of type variant

Anchor refers to a Word RANGE. A range can be any consecutive string of one
or more characters in the binary file format. Usually, one would specify (in
VBA-speak) Selection.Range or a particular paragraph's range.

All graphical objects in a Word document's "drawing layer" (what enables text
wrap formatting) must be anchored to a paragraph. They will ALWAYS appear on
the same page as the anchoring paragraph (if it moves to a different page,
the graphic moves, too). A graphical object can be positioned relative to the
anchor ("move with text"), or relative to the page/margin/column.

i want to use shapes interface(in MS Word Object).
but, i don't now last argument -VARIANT* Anchor..

LPDISPATCH AddTextbox(long Orientation, float Left, float Top, float Width,
float Height, VARIANT* Anchor);
