Identify Selected Object

Identify Selected Object

Identify Selected Object

(OP)
Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction for this one:

I'd like to be able to write a macro such that when I select an object with a "width" property, I can click a menu bar button, type in a new width for that object, and have the object resized accordingly.  

I've got the code working just fine for whole-chart resizing (although there were some probs to work around), but what I'd really like to do is make the macro universal so that it recognizes what object I've selected (legend, chartarea, plotarea, etc).

Any idea how to make it recognize the selected object?
