Using Resize Handles
To resize the drawing object:
Step 1: Move the mouse pointer over any of the resize handles. The mouse pointer changes its shape from
pointer ( ) to double-headed arrow ( ).
Step 2: Now, click on the resize handle and drag the mouse carefully to resize the shape to the required size.

Resizing Shape More Accurately
Step 1: Select Format  Text Box and Shape  Position and Size from the Menu bar.
Step 2: The Position and Size dialog box will open. Set the width and height respectively.

If the Keep ratio option is selected, then the two dimensions change so that the proportion is maintained,
allowing for a scaled resizing.

Grouping Objects
At times, you may want to group multiple objects into one object so they will stay together if they are moved or
resized. Often, this is easier than selecting all of the objects every time you want to move them.
To group objects:
Step 1: Click on Select tool from Drawing Object Properties toolbar and draw a rectangle around the objects
that you want to select.
Step 2: From the Format menu, click on Group option and select Group from the submenu.
