Example

This example defines a shape range that contains all the AutoShapes on myDocument and then horizontally distributes the shapes in this range. The leftmost shape retains its position.

Set myDocument = Worksheets(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
    numShapes = .Count
    If numShapes > 1 Then
        numAutoShapes = 0
        ReDim autoShpArray(1 To numShapes)
        For i = 1 To numShapes
            If .Item(i).Type = msoAutoShape Then
                numAutoShapes = numAutoShapes + 1
                autoShpArray(numAutoShapes) = .Item(i).Name
            End If
        Next
        If numAutoShapes > 1 Then
            ReDim Preserve autoShpArray(1 To numAutoShapes)
            Set asRange = .Range(autoShpArray)
            asRange.Distribute msoDistributeHorizontally, False
        End If
    End If
End With
