I am looking into the first issue but this one above actually is the intended way. I am counting the characters in the shape so we can append the other values into it. The reason it shows 1 is because that is the first time it runs when there are no characters in the shape. It goes to 1 because of the + 1. The value of the cell is then put into the shape.

I am guessing the reason the object error happened was because the normal versions of office have a different syntax. I still use 2003 mostly because it is the most stable in my opinion and allows me to customize exactly how I need.

I am running office 2013 in a VM and will see if the code works there. I will get back to you as soon as I can with my findings.

Thanks
