Default Select specified text, change font size?

Please, can you help me with VBA code for CorelDraw 12 or 3X?

In a 20-page CorelDraw document, I need a macro that selects a specific text string, and changes the font size (of only the selected text string). Each page has several text objects. I don't know how to identify the exact text object that contains the text string, but guess the macro can search through all text objects on the page. Optimization is not important here.

Goto page
Find/Select "My Text String That I Want to Change the Size Of"
Apply font size 8, face Arial
Goto next page

Default

it will ask you twice. first time for string you search, second time for font name and size (separated by comma ",")

Code:
Sub changeFont()
   Dim p As Page, oldP As Page, sh As Shape, lookFor As String, i As Long, s As String
   Dim targetFont As String, targetSize As Integer, report As String, cnt As Long
   On Error Resume Next
   
   lookFor = InputBox("What to search", "text properties replace")
   If lookFor = "" Then Exit Sub
   
   s = InputBox("FontName, Size", "text properties replace", "Arial,8"): i = InStr(s, ",")
   If i = 0 Then targetSize = 8 Else targetSize = Val(Mid(s, i + 1)): s = left(s, i - 1)
   targetFont = Trim(s): If targetSize = 0 Then targetSize = 8
   
   report = "": Set oldP = ActivePage
   ActiveDocument.BeginCommandGroup "Replace " + lookFor
   For Each p In ActiveDocument.Pages
      p.Activate
      For Each sh In p.FindShapes
         If sh.Type = cdrTextShape Then
            i = InStr(UCase(sh.Text.Story), UCase(lookFor))
            Do While i > 0
               cnt = cnt + 1
               With sh.Text.Range(i - 1, i + Len(lookFor) - 1)
                  .Font = targetFont: .Size = targetSize
               End With
               i = InStr(i + 1, UCase(sh.Text.Story), UCase(lookFor))
            Loop
         End If
      Next sh
      If cnt > 0 Then _
         report = report + "Page " + CStr(p.Index) + ": " + CStr(cnt) + " times, ": cnt = 0
   Next p
   oldP.Activate: ActiveDocument.EndCommandGroup
   MsgBox IIf(report = "", "Not found", report)
End Sub
