Gets the top coordinate, in points, of the text bounding box for the specified text. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.BoundTop

expression An expression that returns a TextRange2 object.

Example

This example adds a rounded rectangle to slide one with the same dimensions as the text bounding box.

With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1) 
 Set txb = .TextFrame.Text 
 Set roundRect = .AddShape(ppShapeRoundRect, _ 
 txb.BoundLeft, txb.BoundTop, txb.BoundWidth, txb.BoundHeight) 
 roundRect.Fill.Transparency = 0.25 
End With
