Example

This example adds a rectangle to myDocument and sets its fill gradient style to match that of the shape named "rect1." For the example to work, rect1 must have a gradient fill.

Visual Basic for Applications 
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1) With myDocument.Shapes gradStyle1 = .Item("rect1").Fill.GradientStyle With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 0, 0, 40, 80).Fill .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0) .OneColorGradient gradStyle1, 1, 1 End With End With
