Default tracking down a shape?

Hi,
I got a drawing from someone and want to find out what the shape is, but
can't find it in visio 2007.

it is a cloud with lines that seem "attached", if I delete one then the
whole thing goes away.

I can shrink the line so it isn't able to be viewed, but I rather find out
what the item is so I can use it again, plus change it around.
There are a few fixed/attached lines, and some that were added after it
looks like, it is almost like a token ring item, with the lines auto attached
to it, but it is a white cloud.

Copy and paste the shape into a new page (just so it's easy to find)
then
menu View - Drawing Explorer
and go to the appropriate foreground page, in the shapes for that page
you will see the shape listed. What is its name?
