You can use the Scale tab of the Transform dialog box to precisely resize an object. On the Arrange menu, point to Transform and choose Scale.
| The measurements of the last transformation appear in the Transform dialog box. For example, if you manually resize an object to 50% of its original size and open the Transform dialog box, 50 appears in the Scale tab. |
You numerically resize an object by selecting a object and entering a percentage of the current size. The current size is 100%. A number below 100% decreases, and a number above 100% increases the size. Designer displays a preview of the resized object as a rectangular outline.
The horizontal number affects the side-to-side size; the vertical number affects the top-to-bottom size. The horizontal and vertical sizes are the same unless you deselect the Proportional Scale option.
The Scale tab of the Transform dialog box lets you resize an object based on its current size. For example, if you enlarge a circle to 200% and then type 200 to enlarge it to another 200%, the circle is enlarged an additional amount.
| Before you can transform an object imported as a WMF file, you must convert the object to curves. |
