Export Shape as gif or bmp?
 

Is it possible to export a shape as a gif or bmp image to a Windows folder
using Excel or vba?

Export Shape as gif or bmp?
 

Export is a property of a chart, so you would have to put the shape on a
chart and export the chart. You can create a blank chart, so that approach
isn't as far fetched as it might sound.
