Default Actually, I wish to have a macro only on the selected group

I'm so sorry If I wastn't clearer, I'm aiming to do better.

I'm wishing the code is on the selected Group of textbox

What I do, is select the outside frame of the group, and I've noticed if there are Group ''Lines'' further in the document, that is where it goes and totally ignored the selected outside group. HOWEVER, if I handle all the other Groups furter in the document, then the intended selected group, my code did the exactly what was intended [Square Warp & Ungroup]

As it looks at the first (grouped) shape, it decides to ungroup the shape (which now becomes three shapes). Then the loop ends because when it started it was told to only work on one shape.
OH I didn't think of that. Smart thinking!

I hope the macro would, I'll use your example of 3 textbox groupe as one: select the three textbox as one group, wrap square, then ungroup.

Yes I would

I'm not certain, what you are saying here, but how I see it, at times it's true in an example, a group of 6 textbox, built as one group, there might be two mini group, where ==> 1 group of 4 textbox, then created anoter group for the 2, then merged them all into 1 group at the end. Is that an example of what you are saying here? If so, let me explain the reason I've created this macro, maybe this would explain.....
My intention of this macro is to : Either to use if for...
1- Just to use the selected group and wrap square, [Square cause I can move the group if needed, when inline, you cannot], this is a step prior to the next (==>End result, is to extract each content within a group and keep the text format, align to the left (but that is another macro);
2- OR if I need to undo a group of 6 textbox (using my previous example), but the group of 4, one of them should have been with the other mini group of 2 textbox.

I hope my explanation if better.

Thanks for the prompt reply
