How do you to keep track of separate objects when you break curves apart?

Hi there,

How do you to keep track of separate objects when you break curves apart?
For Example, if I have the letter "B", convert it to curves, and then break it apart, I'm left with the outline of the B, along with the 2 center pieces. If these shapes are currently selected, or saved in a ShapeRange, how do you know which piece you are accessing when you use ActiveSelection(#)?

Does Corel use a top to bottom methodology, or somehow to access each shape?

TIA
Joseph
