Select multiple Shapes

[Guest]

Hi All........
Is it possible with code, to be able to select multiple or ALL of the shapes
or drawing objects on a sheet? How about "ranges" like "Line1:Line17", or
"Rectangle36:Rectangle56", or even "all the rectangles listed in G1:G17", or
something like that?

Hi CLR,

ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Select
ActiveSheet.Rectangles.Select
ActiveSheet.Lines.Select
ActiveSheet.Ovals.Select

To limit the collection to a range, I think that you would need to loop
through each, checking the intersection of the shape's TopLeftCell (and
possibly its BottomRightCell) with the range.

Thanks Norman, your suggestion for that first part helps a bunch!

As for the second part, I am not wanting to select all the shapes within an
"Excel cell range", (like A1:G17), rather I want to select "all the
rectangles within the group of Rectangle numbers from Rectangle 1 through
Rectangle 7"......or Group of Rectangle12:24........etc

Hi Chuck,

Try something like:

'=============>>
Public Sub Tester03()
Dim i As Long

For i = 1 To 7
ActiveSheet.Rectangles("rectangle " & i).Select False
Next i
End Sub
'<<=============

Hi Chuck,

Better would be:

'=============>>
Public Sub Tester03()
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long

For i = 1 To 3
j = j + 1
ActiveSheet.Rectangles("rectangle " & i).Select Replace:=j = 1
Next i
End Sub
'<<=============

Thanks Norman.........this one got the job done, I just had to modify a bit
for my XL97 I guess....

ActiveSheet.SHAPES("rectangle " & i).Select Replace:=j = 1

Thanks again,
