Hi!

In Worksheet1 I have a lot of shapes, some has same name.
I want to rename all shapes in Worksheet1 to: Picture1, Picture2, Picture3, Picture4, ..... and so on.
Please help.

HTML:
Function ShapeAtActiveCell() As String
Dim Sh As Shape

For Each Sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    If Sh.TopLeftCell.Address = ActiveCell.Address Then
       ShapeAtActiveCell = Sh.Name
       ActiveSheet.Shapes(ShapeAtActiveCell).Select
       Exit Function
    End If
Next
End Function

'--------------

Sub RenameShapes()
Dim p As String, n As Long
p = "Picture"
n = 1000

For i = 1 To n
   With Worksheets("Sheet1")
     .Shapes(ShapeAtActiveCell).Name = p + i
   End With
Next
End Sub

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
How about
Code:
Sub RenameShapes()
Dim sh As Shape, i As Long
For Each sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
   i = i + 1
   sh.Name = "Picture" & i
Next sh
End Sub
