Unfortunately there is not direct way of trapping events for a shapes, other
than it's OnAction click if assigned to a Macro.

Maybe you can use near equivalent ActiveX controls from the Controls
toolbox, say an Image control for your picture. These expose most typical
events including mouse move, though not mouse "over".

the only mouse move that is sucessfully work is on charts

- only when the chart is active, but indeed you could add your shapes to an
otherwise empty chartobject, activate it to get the events.
