A quick look at the dialog ...

The Select Multiple Objects button Select Multiple Objects command button opens a dialog box (shown below) that lists all the shapes on the spreadsheet, allowing you to select all of them in a single click, or a subset of them via checkboxes.

Note: The button doesn't appear on the Drawing toolbar by default. To enable it, you will need to customize the Excel toolbar.

Select Multiple Objects is very handy when moving an entire drawing, grouping objects, or selecting all the objects to change the formatting in a single step (instead of one at a time).
