Remarks

You can use an object's name in conjunction with the Item method or Item property to return a reference to the object if the Item method or property for the collection that contains the object takes a Variant argument. For example, if the value of the Name property for a shape is Rectangle 2, then .Shapes("Rectangle 2") will return a reference to that shape.

The Name property is the default property for the BorderArt, BorderArtFormat, and Label objects.
