Re: is this possible?

The shape has custom properties or a user data section that should be what
you need. You access these parts of shapes via CellSrc method. You can put
text, numbers, formulas in these cells and they can have unique values per
instanced shape if need be. Hope this helps.

I'm creating shapes with various numbers of rows of data from an Excel
spread***, which is displayed in the shape's text. A shape may contain
more
than one row. I would like to keep some of the "metadata" (non-text cells;
e.g. textID number) for each row in the shape, but not visible to the
viewer,
so that in the future I can compare the text in the shape with the orginal
text in the Excel spread***, to see if any changes have been made.

Hope this is clear enough.

Any ideas how this might be done?

Thanks!
