I have a layout of 80 signs that are 18 x 24 with the same background image in each. Now the background for each sign needs to be changed. Is there a way to replace each one by way of a macro?

Thanks Jeff, I thought about that but when we print them they have to be "nested" into 10 signs per print. 4ft x 8ft sheet can get 10 signs per sheet. If I have each sign on individual pages it makes it difficult to nest them for printing. We set them up like this and then the next set beside them and so on.
Hi.
Take a look here too

Thanks John. What I have is several designs that use bitmaps as the background. They're already set up with 80 -90 signs. I have one button to export the replacement image I want to a temp file. Then I select one of the images that I want replaced and hit another macro and it replaces the one selected with the one I want. Centers it and deletes the unwanted one. Works great just would like to be able to have it loop through and replace them all.
Here's the kicker. I'd like to have the macro to loop through and replace whatever I have selected at the time, be it an image or shape. Most of the loops I see are finding an object or image based on certain parameters. One instance might be just replacing squares with circles yet another might have all bitmaps.

Nice, thanks Jeff. Do you know if it works for X7?

I tried a quick test... sorry, not yet!
