ShapeRange.ZOrderPosition Property
| Word Developer Reference |
Returns a Long that represents the position of the specified shape in the z-order. Read-only.
Syntax
expression.ZOrderPosition
expression An expression that returns a ShapeRange object.
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. This property is read-only. To set the shape's position in the z-order, use the ZOrder 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 myDocument, 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.
