FillFormat Object (Word)
Represents fill formatting for a shape. A shape can have a solid, gradient, texture, pattern, picture, or semi-transparent fill.
Remarks
Use the Fill property to return a FillFormat object. The following example adds a rectangle to the active document and then sets the gradient and color for the rectangle's fill.
With ActiveDocument.Shapes _
.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 90, 90, 90, 80).Fill
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 128, 128)
.OneColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, 1, 1
End With
Many of the properties of the FillFormat object are read-only. To set one of these properties, you have to apply the corresponding method.
