Dazzer,

There's a mif/mid exporter, it's not perfect but it would allow you to get the shapes out programmatically, manipulate them as text or with a GIS program, and re-import them.

Walt Cygan wrote the mif/mid exporter, it is here:

There's also a compiled version in one of the old newsletters, look for "three new utilities".

You may encounter some errors, but it should give you a good starting point.
