Brain storming chart

I am sure there is a simple answer, but is there an easy way of making all the shapes the same size?

RE: brain storming chart

Hello Margaret

Thank you for your quesion and welcome to the forum.

You can make more than one shape the same size by selecting all the shapes first before resizing. You can do this by clicking on one shape, holding down Shift, and clicking on the other shapes you wish to resize. Then resize one shape and the others will resize at the same time.

If you wish to know the exact dimensions of a shape, select it and then bring up the Size and Position Window (you should find this under the View menu). This will give you the width and height of a shape. If you then select other shapes (using Shift) and enter the same width and height into the Size and Position window, pressing Enter after each entry. This will resize the other shapes to the same dimensions as the first shape you selected.
