Grouping shapes - but faster! - 2010-03-24

WARNING! This is a VBA question; my first time on this forum and I don't know if you entertain VBA questions. Anyway...
I've some code that creates hundreds of shapes in MS Word (XP, MS 2000). The shape names are kept in an array, then I group them with the statement
ActiveDocument.Shapes.Range(ShapeArray).Select
It works, but slowly. It looks like the screen refreshes with each shape name. Is there a way to speed up the process, perhaps by blocking the display until all are grouped, or some other method?
