How to make the macro move the focus of the screen to a textbox

I have a macro that makes several text boxes flash, one after the
other. It's to show new users of my template where to find the
clickable text boxes.

I can select one of the boxes using this line:

Code:
 ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text Box M303T1Fichero").Select

It works fine, but I then want to make another box flash that is initially off the bottom of the screen, and when I select it, the screen stays in the same position. Is there a way to make a text box visible (i.e. on the screen, rather
than below the screen), i.e., in the same way that if I select cell A300 that cell will become visible on the screen, I want my second text box to become visible.

As a workaround, I could move down to the row where the box appears, but I'd rather not, otherwise I have to update the macro if I add or remove rows before it.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Maybe something like this...

With Shapes("Text Box M303T1Fichero")
Range(.TopLeftCell.address).Select
End With
