Adding Glow to Text

[hunter21188]

I am having trouble figuring out how to add glow to text within a certain text box. For example, I have a text box named "Header" on my slide and I want to add a black glow around the text. Unfortunately, ".Glow" is not an option. This is how I have the text formatted so far:


With ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Header").TextFrame.TextRange.Font

.Size = 40
.Name = "Aharoni"
.Bold = False
.Italic = False
.Shadow = True


End With


Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

You are using legacy code from 2003.

You need to use the TextFrame2 object instead of TextFrame to use the new features like Glow.

NOTE Shadow=True will fail if you do because it is also legacy code. You will have to use the new Shadow Properties. .Shadow.Visible=True MIGHT do what you need.

That does EXACTLY what I need. Thanks!!!
