I have designed a macro that copies the name of a button on sheet 1 to a corresponding button on 7 other sheets. It works well on windows but on a Mac it just blanks out the button. Can anyone help


VBA Code:
  ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Button 36")).Select
    Selection.Characters.Text = Sheets("WorkFlow").Shapes("Button 36").AlternativeText
    With Selection.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=3).Font
        .Name = "Abadi"
        .FontStyle = "Italic"
        .Size = 11
        .Strikethrough = False
        .Superscript = False
        .Subscript = False
        .OutlineFont = False
        .Shadow = False
        .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
        .ColorIndex = 11
    End With
    Sheets("Episode 2").Select
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Button 19")).Select
    Selection.Characters.Text = Sheets("WorkFlow").Shapes("Button 36").AlternativeText
    With Selection.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=3).Font
        .Name = "Abadi"
        .FontStyle = "Italic"
        .Size = 11
        .Strikethrough = False
        .Superscript = False
        .Subscript = False
        .OutlineFont = False
        .Shadow = False
        .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
        .ColorIndex = 11
    End With

Here I have dargged accross the said buttons and made a mini sheet, does this mean anything???

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
