Subject: How to Move an Existing Linked Textbox (Shape) to a Specific Page Without Breaking Links?

Hi everyone,

I have a Word document with multiple linked textboxes (Shapes) that are connected to each other. I would like to create a macro to place:

The textbox named TB1 on page 1,
The textbox named TB2 on page 2,
And so on.
The problem is that I cannot create a new textbox in the desired range because doing so breaks the link between the existing textboxes.


My main question is: How can I move an existing shape (textbox) to a specific page without creating a new one?
And to save time for the respondents, I would like to mention, a common mistake, that propety anchor is read only, so i can't do something like:


shp.anchor = rangeX
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
