Is there a way to delete shapes/objects from a preselected area? I am
currently using the macro to select whether or not to delete a specific
shape, but this takes a long time as there are many shapes/objects. A second
problem is that when the dialog box is open, you can't determine which shape
is selected.

Sub delete_objects_in_an_area()
Dim shp As Shape
For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
shp.Select 'can't determine which shape is selected
response = MsgBox("Delete shape?", vbYesNoCancel + vbCritical +
vbDefaultButton2)
If response = vbYes Then
shp.Delete
ElseIf response = vbCancel Then
Exit Sub
End If
Next
end sub
