Question

Sub FindInShapes1()   
Dim rStart As Range
Dim shp As Shape
Dim sFind As String
Dim sTemp As String
Dim Response

sFind = InputBox(\"Search for?\")
If Trim(sFind) = \"\"         


        

Answer 1

I think as there is no way to check for the existence of a TextFrame within a shape, you should ignore the error by using On Error Resume Next:

Sub FindInShapes1()
Dim rStart As Range
Dim shp As Shape
Dim sFind As String
Dim sTemp As String
Dim Response

On Error Resume Next

sFind = InputBox("Search for?")
If Trim(sFind) = "" Then
    MsgBox "Nothing entered"
    Exit Sub
    End If
    Set rStart = ActiveCell
    For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
        'If shp.TextFrame.Characters.Count > 0 Then
        If InStr(LCase(sTemp), LCase(sFind)) <> 0 Then
            shp.Select
            Response = MsgBox( _
                prompt:=shp.TopLeftCell & vbCrLf & _
                sTemp & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
                "Do you want to continue?", _
                Buttons:=vbYesNo, Title:="Continue?")
            If Response <> vbYes Then
                Set rStart = Nothing
                Exit Sub
            End If
        End If
        'End If
        sTemp = shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text

    Next
    MsgBox "No more found"
    rStart.Select
    Set rStart = Nothing
End Sub
