hold down the control key when you click the shape. Then in the name box,
type the new name and hit enter.

I did it once but don't know how. Basically I just want to rename an
autoshape from "autoshape61" to "somethingmeaningful"

I think it involves pressing the control and then a + sign appears but
can't
remember exactly; any help much appreciated.

Thanks, Mark
