Add text in rectangleshape

Dear All, I'm starting to learn OOo.Draw and macro programming. The first thing I'm trying is drawing a rectangle (I can do that), but now I need to add a text (say "abcd") into that rectangle shape.

I can't get it to work. Any example code would do fine (in OOo Basic).

Thank's, that was it,

The correct function is: oRectShape.SetString="abc"

after the shape is placed on the page

The draw and Impress chapters from my book are available as a free download from my publisher. If you have trouble finding them let me know...

It did work for me. The result after some evenings of my first OOo macro coding is a tool that generates ERDs (entities and relationships with symbols indicating entity types and relationship types) from an Oracle database based system, fully automatically.

OOo Macro = great stuff!

Very interesting... can it also probe a Base document?
I would love to see an example of the file that it generates; even if you have to email it to me directly (andrew@pitonyak.org).
