[SteveB]

How do I resize multiple shapes at the same time or make multiple shapes the
same size?

Thanks!

From the View menu, select Size and Position Window.

Select the shapes you wish to modify.
Type your new value in the appropriate box.

Thanks, Paul.

Resizing multiple shapes by dragging a handle would be VERY convenient. Is
there no way to do that?

Not as far as I know. How would anything know which size you wanted?

Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

I was hoping for something like what is in MS Access form design. You can
select multiple objects then say make all the same size as the widest or
narrowest, etc.

Or to be able to select multiple shapes, usually of the same size, and
increase or decrease their width. I didn't want to have to figure out the
dimension and input that into a dialog box.

At least you got me closer to having what I wanted!

Thanks for your help!!

No need for a reply.

Hi Frank

I think it works but in this way. The shapes are resized relatively,
consider the case when multiple images are selected which are not uniform in
size.

Hope there could hardly be an easy way to accomplish this if there is
one please let me know.

thanks for your precious time.
