Type: System.Int32
Remarks
Shapes(1) returns the shape at the back of the z-order, and Shapes(Shapes.Count) returns the shape at the front of the z-order.
To set the shape's position in the z-order, use the ZOrder(MsoZOrderCmd) method.
A shape's position in the z-order corresponds to the shape's index number in the Shapes collection. For example, if there are four shapes on the slide, the expression myDocument.Shapes(1) returns the shape at the back of the z-order, and the expression myDocument.Shapes(4) returns the shape at the front of the z-order.
Whenever you add a new shape to a collection, it is added to the front of the z-order by default.
