VBA - working with shapes videos | Excel VBA Part 52.3 - Adding Text to Shapes
Posted by Andrew Gould on 16 February 2017
You can add text to most shapes that you can draw in Excel. This video explains the basics of working with text in shapes, including how to add to text to a basic shape, how to format text inside shapes and how to change the text alignment and orientation.
This video has the following accompanying files:
| File name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shape Text.xlsm | Excel workbook with macros |

Making a video bigger
You can increase the size of your video to make it fill the screen like this:
Play your video (the icons shown won't appear until you do), then click on the full screen icon which appears as shown at its bottom right-hand corner.
When you've finished viewing a video in full screen mode, just press the Esc key to return to normal view.
Improving the quality of a video
To improve the quality of a video, first click on the Settings icon:
Make sure you're playing your video so that the icons shown appear, then click on this gear icon at the bottom right-hand corner.
Choose to change the video quality:
Click on Quality as shown to bring up the submenu.
The higher the number you choose, the better will be your video quality (but the slower the connection speed):
Don't choose the HD option unless you have a fast enough connection speed to support it!
Is your Wise Owl speaking too slowly (or too quickly)? You can also use the Settings menu above to change your playback speed.
