and then sets the foreground color, background color, and gradient for the rectangle's fill.
Set myDocument = Worksheets(1)
With myDocument.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, _
90, 90, 90, 50).Fill
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0)
.BackColor.RGB = RGB(170, 170, 170)
.TwoColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, 1
