Shapes in XL2007 are bug ridden. It doesn't surprise me at all.

Be aware that some shapes parameters are incompatible in XL2007 vs
XL2003 so that to make code work in both it harder than it sounds.

Good luck.

This is an answer that an user would never listen to...

I am a little disappointed with such a product. these errors are not
permissible!

so, I'll modify the name by myself in order to avoid duplication.
