Hello Everyone!

Now I meet a puzzle about how to put some shape into a canvas.

Normally,we Can use VBA to cut selection shaperange into clipboard ,then insert a canvas into the word,and use the select method to activate the canvas to paste the shapes into the canvas.

But this method is very clumsy and not stable.

I have seen an word-addin,it can put all the shape into a canvas automatically.Especially very awesome for the flow chart。



I had study the xml-code with Activedocument.range.xml for a long time,but gained nothing。I had tried to put the pict-segment into the canvas-code,but faile in the end.

So I want to know how to achive this by the xml-method though VBA.But not Aspose or SpireDoc.Because the latter can not deal with this condition when word is open.

Thanks a lot for the help!!!

There is an option that automatically creates the Drawing Canvas. You can turn it on vba with
Using the interface you go to File > Options > Advanced > Editing Options > Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes

THX for the reply，but I have to deal with a lot of documents with many shapes without canvas. So I want to know how to solve this condition with Vba-xml.
