the first shape in a drawing has an id of 1 and can't be modified.
You may however test if manually overwriting this value in the xml of the file will break it or not.
Is it an academical question, or do you have a real life problem?

Only in real life, I don't care about a manually changed Visio file (by editing XML). Thank you Yacine!

FYI (in academical sence) ;D
Quote from: Tumanov a.k.a. Croc in Russian Visio forum's post
=Pages[Page-1]!ThePage!Prop.Prop1
or
=Pages[Page-1]!ThePage!Prop.Row_1, if the lines are not named
By the way, if you write
=Pages[Page-1]!Sheet.0!Prop.Row_1, then it will itself be renamed to ThePage.

Because ThePage is also a shape, but zero.
