ShapeRange.Group Method 

Groups the shapes in the specified range. Returns the grouped shapes as a single Shape object.

Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word (in microsoft.office.interop.word.dll)

Usage

Dim returnValue As Shape
Dim shapeRange1 As ShapeRange
returnValue = shapeRange1.Group()

Syntax

Function Group() As Shape
Shape Group();
public: Shape^ Group();
public Shape Group();
function Group() : Shape;

Remarks

Because a group of shapes is treated as a single shape, grouping and ungrouping shapes changes the number of items in the Shapes collection and changes the index numbers of items that come after the affected items in the collection.
