When you first add it, you can assign the textbox to a variable. After you close it, you have to generate that pointer somehow. This can be done in a number of ways. If you know you are getting the last shape added to the slide, then it is something like (in VBA): With ActivePresentation.Slides(SLIDENUM) .Shapes(.Shapes.Count).TextFrame.TextRange.Text End With If you don't know that it will be the last shape added, you will need some other way of identifying the shape. This could be based on the location and size (that you just specified), or you could add a tag to the shape when you add it and identify it based on the tag. --David -- David M.
