Is there a way to delete shapes/objects from a preselected area? I am trying
to use the following macro, but it takes a long time. It also has the
problem as you can't tell which object is selected when the dialog box is
open. There are too many objects to manually select and delete.

Sub delete_objects_in_an_area()
Dim shp As Shape
For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
shp.Select 'can't determine which shape is selected
'ActiveSheet.activeShape.Select
'need to select shape first so I know whether to delete or not
response = MsgBox("Delete shape?", vbYesNoCancel + vbCritical +
vbDefaultButton2)
If response = vbYes Then
shp.Delete
ElseIf response = vbCancel Then
Exit Sub
End If
Next
