Sorry Gary, I don't have a tablet, so can't really see what you are
experienceing. I do know however, that there are many other things that the
Macro Recorder will not record, even under normal conditions. I did not
mean to suggest in my post that you should be able to do it. I only
suggested a method of committing the Object name and properties to a macro
after the object had been drawn. I apologize if I mis-led you.

Vaya con Dios,
Chuck, CABGx3
