How do I scale grouped objects?

[Lij]

I've got clipart grouped w/text, and when I try to scale them together, only
the graphics scale--the text size remains constant. Is there a way to tell
Publisher to scale both proportionally?

Thx!

You need to set your text box for best fit. To do it proper I'd suggest
creating your items at the scale that you will be suing but...

In many cases all you need to do is select the objects and copy/paste
special as a picture. This work better if enlarging, but if reducing in
size, pasting as a .jpg or bitmap seems to work a little better. The initial
fuzziness around the letters is minimized when scaling down. Note that some
text fonts work better than others for scaling. I also use PagePlus and
doing this in that application works better than in Publisher.
