    Create a List of All Shapes

    Hi all,

    How can I make a list of all the shapes I have created in my workbook. There are a couple that I made, stopped using, but never deleted and I don't want them within the workbook anymore.

    Regards:

    Hi Mordred,

    That is a very good question. Had the same problem many moons ago, but my pc packed up and I was rid of the problem. However, Leith Ross never seizes to amaze me with his programming skills and knowledge ! I am sure he wont mind if you ask him for help. I too, would like to see how it can be resolved. Good Luck!

    If the goal is to delete them, a slight expansion on SHG's macro can offer you that opportunity:

    A slight change to JB's code will let you see what you may be deleting:

    for a vba approach you can use the selection pane.
    Home > Editing > Find & Select > Selection Pane.

    You can use CTRL+Click to multi select and then delete.
