Yep, I had read that discussion before I decided to post here...I found no
reasonable solution there, though.
Your next post is a solution I might consider, thanks Yoda!
I have slightly over 1000 shapes on a page and thousands of layers, so I'd
better think twice before moving all this to a new page. I had resolved to
insert two buttons to be used for launching some code over all these shapes
(which triggered that 1441 horror message...); but then I realized that I can
run my routines as simple macros, so I do not need them buttons...yet.
Thank you fo reply, anyway!
