如何在我刚刚添加到页面的 Word 中 position 文本框

Question

I have a document that has a number of rectangle shapes. I want to replace each of those with a TextBox in exactly the same place. My starting point is working with an existing known shape I want to replace with a textbox (later I'll add further automation to process the selected shape or all shapes).

This is my code so far:

Sub Macro3()
'
' Macro3 Macro
'
'
Dim shp As Shape
Dim Box As Shape

For Each shp In ActiveDocument.Shapes.Range(Array("Group 1928"))
    shp.Select
    Set Box = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox( _
    Orientation:=msoTextOrientationHorizontal, _
    Left:=shp.Left, Top:=shp.Top, Width:=shp.Width, Height:=shp.Height)
    Box.RelativeHorizontalPosition = shp.RelativeHorizontalPosition
    Box.RelativeVerticalPosition = shp.RelativeVerticalPosition
    Box.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Some text"
Next shp

End Sub

I've tried setting a number of other properties but the textbox always appears and stays at the top centre of the document page.

Thank you for any guidance you can offer.

For example:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long, rt As Long, rl As Long, wf As Long, Shp As Shape
With ActiveDocument
  For i = .Shapes.Count To 1 Step -1
    With .Shapes(1)
      If .Type = msoAutoShape Then
        wf = .WrapFormat.Type
        rt = .TopRelative
        rl = .LeftRelative
        Set Shp = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(Orientation:=msoTextOrientationHorizontal, _
          Left:=.Left, Top:=.Top, Width:=.Width, Height:=.Height, Anchor:=.Anchor)
        With Shp
          .WrapFormat.Type = wf
          .TopRelative = rt
          .LeftRelative = rl
          .TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Hello World"
        End With
        .Delete
      End If
    End With
  Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Try this. In my opinion you don't need to crate a TextBox, you can simply change the existing box as follow:

Dim shp As Shape
Dim Box As Shape

scount = ActiveDocument.Shapes.Count

For i = 1 To scount
    Set shp = ActiveDocument.Shapes(i)
    shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Some txt"
    shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
    shp.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
    shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Next i
