Manipulating Word Paragraphs and Shapes using VBA

[Peter Richards]

I am attempting to manipulate a document containing paragraphs and inline
shapes (pictures and ole objects). I am having trouble accessing these
objects in the order in which they appear in the document. Does anyone have
any experience doing this?

Could you please be more specific about what you're trying to do, and the
problem you're running into? I assume you know you can use For (Each) Next to
"walk" the paragraphs. And then I'd check each paragraph's range for the
InlineShapes.Count, and "walk" those, if there are any.

And are you sure you're talking about inline shapes?
If you have trouble accessing the objects in the order in which they appear, it seems more likely you are talking about Shapes (perhaps anchored to some paragraph, perhaps in the drawing layer).
