Picks up all animation from the ShapeRange object. |
|
Regroups the group that the specified shape range belonged to previously. Returns the regrouped shapes as a single Shape object. |

When a shape is created, Microsoft PowerPoint automatically assigns it a name in the form ShapeType Number, where ShapeType identifies the type of shape or AutoShape, and Number is an integer that's unique within the collection of shapes on the slide. For example, the automatically generated names of the shapes on a slide could be Placeholder 1, Oval 2, and Rectangle 3. To avoid conflict with automatically assigned names, don't use the form ShapeType Number for user-defined names, where ShapeType is a value that is used for automatically generated names, and Number is any positive integer. A shape range must contain exactly one shape. Read/write. |
