That's the worst thing. CP is a community build up on each other, by not voting up-down on the content. I don't know why people really doing it.

In the case of your question, Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan was right - you don't actually ask a question, you just state your task - so he asked you what you had tried.
That's important for a couple of reasons:
1) We aren't here to do peoples homework or paid-work for them. So when you post a task without any show of effort or specific question we want to know what is going on. Because we get a lot of people trying to get us to do it all for them!
2) Unless we know what you have tried, we will likely suggest stuff that is irrelevant - because you tried it and it didn't work, or it doesn't work in the context of the rest of your project.
The point is, we don't know what you are doing unless you tell us: we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind. All we get to work with is exactly what you type.
So trying to make your question concise doesn't often work, because we don't have any context for the question.
All you said was "I want to do this" without trying to explain why it's difficult for you!

Okay, I'll update the question explaining more about what I've done so far and why I need this to get done and what exactly I need to get done.
Lets see how many users answer the question.

but there must be thousands of CP users who know a lot about ORACLE.
BTW I improved [^the question]. does it look a bit better now??

Probably, but that doesn't mean they know the answer or even that they answer questions.
It's got a lot more in it, and it makes sense to me - but I have no idea how to do it!

Now thats more than enough for me 
Fingers crossed and waiting for the KIND person who gives me a solution 
And guess what I already got a reply on the question by Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter, he suggested me to ask this to oracle.

Whatever you may think of the rules over here on CodeProject, they are a hundred times worse on StackOverflow. I've been flamed over there many times, sometimes even for just asking a question. I even got flamed for answering a question because someone didn't understand my answer so downvoted the answer.
Don't take anything personally. Keep up the good work, keep being helpful and keep being a good citizen of CodeProject. Your input is appreciated and absolutely vital to this community

Thanks.
I don't want to take anything personal. My point is these things is not good for a community. What if this happen to a newbie? They'll left the community for sure. We need a much better bond than this rather chasing those voting and all. I've seen a lot doing different things just to collect points

I gave up on SO years ago: if you aren't part of the "ruling clique" then if you disagree with the establishment, your answers disappear. And sometimes the other answer magically changes to include what you said...strange that...

SO is very, very cliquy. Whilst it can be good for answering very specific (black and white) type questions, it fails terribly on more discussion based, open-ended questions e.g. "What are the pros and cons of doing......." type questions.
There is a definite elitism about SO that jars with me. I much prefer the convivial nature of CP. I find it a far broader church

There are a few CP users who would fit in very well over there!
Mind you, they wouldn't go, because being "low on the totem pole" doesn't fit with their massive egos.

And I know exactly who you mean too

And that of course would never happen on CP?
I had so many solutions deleted, because the questions were all of a sudden gone, I've essentially stopped bothering with answering any questions at all.

Now that can't happen here, or can it?

I looked-up you subject (replace text inside Word's shapes) and found a lot of ideas how to do it (simple Selection do not contain the shapes and not the text inside shapes)...
You should do some Google, or reopen the question to let me (or others) to point you to the right direction...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Glad to hear that. By the way, don't judge the entire site based on the actions of a few people. Lots of sensible folks here as well

Just record a macro doing what you want and you'll see the code you need.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Actually I get it done by considering the content with all the shapes. Check for shapes and fill it with the content.

A bit early, I know, but deal with it.

Very good!
I'll not answer it now - far too early and I want to give the others a chance.
Possibly a little too easy?
