Sub makeRect()

    Dim s As Shape, sRect As Shape
    Dim x As Double, y#, h#, w#
    Dim dMarg#
    Dim sr As New ShapeRange
  
    dMarg = 0.05
    ActiveDocument.Unit = cdrCentimeter
  
  
  
    Set s = ActiveShape
    If s Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
  
    s.GetBoundingBox x, y, w, h
  
    Set sRect = ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle2(x - dMarg, y - dMarg, w + (dMarg * 2), h + (dMarg * 2))
