I want to be able to create a slideshow where on each slide I have an Action Button that runs a macro to send a shape to the back or bring it to the front.
The macro runs fine when I am on the first slide of my presentation but fails on any subsequent slide with a runtime error (80048240) Shape (unknown member): Invalid request. To select a shape its view must be active.
How do I make the view active for all slides after the first while I am in presentation mode?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
OK, I think I have it working.
ActivePresentation.Slides(ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.SlideIndex).Shapes("Shape1").ZOrder msoSendToBack
seems to do the trick
