    Shape size based on text in shape

    I want to size a shape based upon the text contained with the shape...and do this via Excel 2007 VBA.

    Say I have a rectangle shape that is 40 pixels wide and 40 pixels high with a single line of text inside of it that would go beyond the end of the shape. I want to resize the height of the shape to accomodate the all the text. Say maybe the new rectangle might be 80 pixel high by 40 pixel wide.

    Maybe this, although you may need to reposition the shape afterwards.

    I think we're on the way...what if I want the width to remain constant regardless of the text length and only vary the height so it will fit all the text?

    I think that is how Powerpoint treats shape resizing to text.

    For Excel the width is increased and the height is shrunk.
