Remarks

Depending on the extent of the text range and the format, setting the CharProps property may cause rows to be added or removed from a shape's Character ShapeSheet section.

The CharProps property is a write-only property. To retrieve formatting properties of a Characters object, use the CharPropsRow property.

The values of the CellIndex argument correspond to cells in the Character section of the ShapeSheet window, and the values of the CharProps property correspond to the values that can be entered in those cells.

Constants for CellIndex and for the CharProps property value are declared in the Visio type library in VisCellIndices.
