[dba-Tech] Word VBA problem

Seems logical to me.  There is a big difference between all the shapes in a document,all the 
shapes in a selection and a selected shape.

Take a document with three paragraphs. The first paragraph contains an inline shape and 
the second and third paragraphs each contain two in line shapes.  


If you just select the shape by itself, it is

 ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(5) 
and 
 Selection.InlineShapes(1)

However if you select the complete third paragraph, it is 

 ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(5) 
and 
 Selection.InlineShapes(2)
