Extracting values from Freeform shapes

[RockVol11]

I am trying to make a separate data sheet that collects numbers I type into
the Freeform shape text box. For example,

In one of the sheet called "08-02-08" there is a freeform shape named as
"Freeform 26".
In this text dialogue I'd like to type a value of "26" and I want this text
value to transfer over to a sheet called "Data Collect Sheet" cell "A1"
automatically.

If anyone knows how to accomplish this task it would be a great help for me
to let me know. Thank you.

Which "text dialogue" are you referring to. AFAIK it's not possible to "Add
Text" to Freeforms

When you make a shape (let's say a pentagon) with Freeform function, after
closing the lines it makes it possible to type in texts when you click on the
shape and start typing. I would like to transfer that text (a number) over
to a cell in a separate sheet.

OK I guess there must be a version difference as in mine Freeforms do not
host textframes (unlike most autoshapes). Are you using Excel 2007 ?

Yes, I am using Excel 2007.
I apologize. I should have mentioned my excel version when I first started
the post.
