Ungroups any grouped shapes in the specified shape or range of shapes. Disassembles pictures and OLE objects within the specified shape or range of shapes. Returns the ungrouped shapes as a single object.

Syntax

expression.Ungroup

expression A variable that represents a Shape object.

Remarks

Because a group of shapes is treated as a single object, grouping and ungrouping shapes changes the number of items in the Shapes collection and changes the index numbers of items that come after the affected items in the collection.
