Shapes.AddPolyline (Word)

Adds an open or closed polygon to a drawing canvas. Returns a Shape object that represents the polygon and adds it to the CanvasShapes collection.

To form a closed polygon, assign the same coordinates to the first and last vertices in the polyline drawing.

 Left:=100, Top:=75, Width:=200, Height:=300) 
 
 'Sets the coordinates of the array 
 sngArray(1, 1) = 100 
 sngArray(1, 2) = 75 
 sngArray(2, 1) = 150 
 sngArray(2, 2) = 100 
 sngArray(3, 1) = 100 
 sngArray(3, 2) = 125
