Rename textbox in Word

[DC CS]

I have a document (Word 365 / 2019) with 3 textboxes that I have inserted using "Insert -> Shapes".
I want to rename these 3 textboxes to my own names.so that I may reference them in my code in Access (Word Automation).
I am unable to locate where I may change the names of the Textboxes. I tried the Developer tab and in Design mode, use the property function, but I still cannot locate where I can rename the Textboxes.

Any help will be appreciated.



Thanks

Thanks Welshgasman - issue resolved.
Now I have another issue. I am unable to reference the shapes in Access VBA. I get an error message "Method or data member not found":

        For Each shp In .ActiveDocument.Shapes            If .ActiveDocument.Trim(Left(shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text, 17)) = "Student Name here" Then
                 shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Rst1!FirstName & " " & Rst1!Surname
            End If
        Next

The debug window shows the member not found, is ".TextRange.Text....".
Running the above code in the WORD document, it runs 100%, but as soon as I run it in VBA, I get the error message.

Any idea why?

Thanks

You would need to prefix with the word document object or the word app object, likely word app object if you are using activedocument.
