Remarks

A textbox is defined by one or more sets of numbers specifying (in order) the left, top, right, and bottom points of the rectangle. Multiple sets are delimited by a semicolon. The default value is the same dimension value as the containing rectangle. If more than one textbox is defined, the comma-delimited quadruple sets that define each textbox are separated by semicolons. Normally textboxes come in sets of 1, 2, 3, or 6 rectangles on a shape.
