• To make multiple graphic items the same size, press the SHIFT key on your keyboard
and select each item. Then, right-click, point to Make Same Size, and click Width,
Height, or Both. When you attempt to make multiple items the same size, the largest
item is always the basis for the size change. Important: For an item to be made the
same size as another item, the item must not be locked — for example, the Maintain
Aspect Ratio check box should be cleared for any images, only text items with default
size text boxes can be resized, and so on.
