Default Macro for TEXT Box to Plain Text Conversion?

Binar:

I created five text boxes, each with one letter, spelling the word "Write."
I used the drawing selection tool to select all five, and was able to extract
each letter with this code in the immediate box.

?Selection.ShapeRange(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text

In other words, whatever group of shapes you can gather into a shaperange --
say all the shapes in a Cell.Range, you can step through and build into a
text string.
