The Type property returns the type of a text object, indicating whether the object is artistic text or paragraph text and whether it is fitted to a curve. The Type property returns a read-only value of cdrTextType.
Examples:
The following VBA example converts all paragraph-text objects to curves by first converting them to artistic text.
Sub Test()
Dim s As Shape
For Each s In ActivePage.FindShapes(, cdrTextShape)
If s.Text.Type = cdrParagraphText Then
s.Text.ConvertToArtistic
s.ConvertToCurves
End If
Next s
End Sub
