  • Article

Returns or sets a String value indicating the name of the specified object. Read/write.

Syntax

expression .Name

expression A variable that represents a Shape object.

Remarks

You can use an object's name in conjunction with the Item method or Item property to return a reference to the object if the Item method or property for the collection that contains the object takes a Variant argument. For example, if the value of the Name property for a shape is Rectangle 2, then .Shapes("Rectangle 2") will return a reference to that shape.

The Name property is the default property for the BorderArt, BorderArtFormat, and Label objects.
