Default disable shape resizing or moving

you say even right click isnt working,

do you mean right click format object Properties tab dont move or
resize with cells button

if not, give it go,

as for making them un-selectable, a quick and dirty way I use to create a
new sub that just says

sub no_move()

end sub

And assign the shapes to this macro, it will make the shapes un-selectable
and unmoveable unless you use the little cursor tool on the drawing tool bar
