Syntax

expression.ScratchArea

expression   A variable that represents a ScratchArea Property object.

Example

This example sets the variable object as the first shape on the scratch area of the active document.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub ScratchPad()

Dim saPage As ScratchArea
Dim objFirst As Object

saPage = Application.ActiveDocument.<strong>ScratchArea</strong>
objFirst = saPage.Shapes(1)



End Sub
