Move shape anchors away from heading paragraphs
Article contributed by Bill Coan
Problem
When shape anchors are located in heading paragraphs, the table of
contents is unable to display heading numbers. This routine works even on shapes
whose anchors are locked. It preserves the location of a shape even if the shape
is positioned relative to paragraph!
Solution
Cut offending shapes out of the document and paste them back into the
document with their anchors at a new location, immediately below the heading
paragraph. Do this without affecting the location of the shape on the page.
Sub MoveAnchorsOutOfHeadings()
Dim oShape As Shape
For Each oShape In
ActiveDocument.Shapes
If
Left$(oShape.Anchor.Style, 7) = "Heading"
Then
oShape.Select
Selection.Cut
Selection.MoveDown unit:=wdParagraph,
Count:=1
Selection.Paste
End If
Next oShape
End Sub
