How to select multiple shapes at once with vba?
I tried something like
For/next
shapes(x).select
next
But it looks like he deselects the last selected shape, resulting only in the last selected.
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
This is the syntax to select two shapes at one time.
VBA Code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Oval 2", "Rectangle 1")).Select
If you want to loop, you can use Select if you set the Replace argument to False

VBA Code:
Dim oneShape As Shape

For Each oneShape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    oneShape.Select Replace:=False
Next oneShape

Much simpler than I imagined.
