TextFrame.Range

Property Range As TextRange

The Range property returns a TextRange object that contains the text in the frame.

Sub Test() 
 Dim s As Shape 
 Dim s1 As Shape 
 Dim s2 As Shape 
 Dim t As Text 
 Dim f As TextFrame 
 Dim d As Document 
 Set d = CreateDocument 
 Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(2, 2, 5, 5, String$(1000, 
"Z")) 
 Set s1 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(5, 5, 8, 8) 
 Set s2 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(8, 8, 10, 10) 
 Set t = s.Text 
 ' Link the frames together 
 t.Frame.LinkTo s1 
 s1.Text.Frame.LinkTo s2 
 Set f = t.Frames(1) 
 f.Range.Bold = True
