Thanks.

This works for setting the property, but how about getting it?
What I do now is this (please, no laughing...):
1. Use AS to create shape named "temp"
2. Use VB to get the space before value from the text I want
3. Use VB to set the content of the "temp" shape to the space before value
4. Use AS to get the content of the "temp" shape
5. Use AS to delete the "temp" shape

Any better ideas?
