As Shapes are not ActiveX objects, they do not trigger events. As such you
do not know when a user is moving a Shape.
You could kludge something with a Timer I suppose, but...

Maybe provide the user with Nudge Up/Down/Left/Right Buttons of Spinners.

To move a shape object on a sheet only up and down or left and right, you
can
hold the shift key down. Is there a way thru programming to set the shift
key as pressed so that any shape object moved with only move left or right
or
up and down when selected?

Thanks
