Well, you did previously say you were working with InlineShapes, and that's all the code looks at. Once you start working with Shape objects, things become far more complicated, as their visual position on the page may not be related to where they are anchored in the document and it the anchor position that determines the order. There is simply no way for a macro to make sense of that. I'd suggest converting all your Shapes to InlineShapes before doing your png conversion.
