intRet = object**.Index**

intRet Integer. The index of the object within its collection.
object Required. An expression that returns an object in the Applies to list.
Version added
2.0
Remarks
Most collections are indexed starting with 1 rather than zero (0), so the index of the first element is 1, the index of the second element is 2, and so forth. The index of the last element in a collection is the same as the value of that collection's Count property. You can iterate through a collection by using these index values. Adding objects to or deleting objects from a collection can change the index values of other objects in the collection.
As it applies to the Color, Connect, Menu, MenuItem, Shape, Style, Toolbar, and ToolbarItem objects.

There are some exceptions. The Colors collection is indexed starting with 0. This is consistent with the numbering displayed next to the colors that appear in the Color Palette dialog box (on the Tools menu, click Color Palette ).
These collections are also indexed starting with 0: AccelItems, AccelTables, MenuSets, MenuItems, Menus, ToolbarItems, Toolbars, and ToolbarSets.
As it applies to the Page object.
Gets or sets the ordinal position of a page in a Pages collection.
intRet Integer. The index of the page within its collection.
object Required. An expression that returns a Page object.
intExpression Required Integer. The new index of a page within its collection.
Version added
2002 (In earlier versions, the Index property of the Page object was read-only.)
Remarks
The Pages collection is indexed starting with 1 rather than zero (0), so the index of the first element is 1, the index of the second element is 2, and so on. The index of the last element in a collection is the same as the value of that collection's Count property. You can iterate through a collection by using these index values. Adding objects to or deleting objects from a collection can change the index values of other objects in the collection.
You may only assign a new index to a foreground page. Background pages are unordered. Use the Background property to determine if a given page is a background page.
Use the BackPage property to assign a background page to a foreground page or to another background page.
