Remarks

Each Shape object represents an object in the drawing layer, such as an AutoShape, freeform, OLE object, or picture.

Note: If you want to work with a subset of the shapes on a document — for example, to do something to only the AutoShapes on the document or to only the selected shapes — you must construct a ShapeRange collection that contains the shapes you want to work with.
