ShapeRange Members (Excel)

Represents a shape range, which is a set of shapes on a document.

Methods

Name	Description
Align	Aligns the shapes in the specified range of shapes.
Apply	Applies to the specified shape formatting that’s been copied by using the PickUp method.
Delete	Deletes the object.
Distribute	Horizontally or vertically distributes the shapes in the specified range of shapes.
Duplicate	Duplicates the object and returns a reference to the new copy.
Flip	Flips the specified shape around its horizontal or vertical axis.
Group	Groups the shapes in the specified range.
IncrementLeft	Moves the specified shape horizontally by the specified number of points.
IncrementRotation	Changes the rotation of the specified shape around the z-axis by the specified number of degrees. Use the Rotation property to set the absolute rotation of the shape.
IncrementTop	Moves the specified shape vertically by the specified number of points.
Item	Returns a single object from a collection.
PickUp	Copies the formatting of the specified shape. Use the Apply method to apply the copied formatting to another shape.
Regroup	Regroups the group that the specified shape range belonged to previously. Returns the regrouped shapes as a single Shape object.
RerouteConnections	This method reroutes all connectors attached to the specified shape; if the specified shape is a connector, it’s rerouted.
ScaleHeight	Scales the height of the shape by a specified factor. For pictures and OLE objects, you can indicate whether you want to scale the shape relative to the original or the current size. Shapes other than pictures and OLE objects are always scaled relative to their current height.
ScaleWidth	Scales the width of the shape by a specified factor. For pictures and OLE objects, you can indicate whether you want to scale the shape relative to the original or the current size. Shapes other than pictures and OLE objects are always scaled relative to their current width.
Select	Selects the object.
SetShapesDefaultProperties	Makes the formatting of the specified shape the default formatting for the shape.
Ungroup	Ungroups any grouped shapes in the specified shape or range of shapes. Disassembles pictures and OLE objects within the specified shape or range of shapes.
ZOrder	Moves the specified shape in front of or behind other shapes in the collection (that is, changes the shape's position in the z-order).
