# Changing the size of multiple objects

If you have multiple objects on a slide, such as several captions, a highlight box, and a click box, you can change the size of all the objects at one time. The objects can be sized to an exact measurement or relative to one another.

#### To change the size of multiple objects:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. Open a slide containing more than one object, such as two captions. You can also open a slide and add more than one object to the slide.

3. Select the objects by holding down the Shift key and clicking on the individual objects.

4. From the Edit menu, select Size, or right-click on one of the selected objects and select Size.

5. Select the width and height you want.

   Height

   - No change: Select this option to keep the height of the selected objects the same.

   - Shrink to smallest: Select this option to change the height of all selected objects to the height of the smallest object.

   - Grow to largest: Select this option to change the height of all selected objects to the height of the largest object.

   - Custom Height: Select this option to set an exact height for the selected objects. Type in a number or use the arrows to set a new height.

   Width

   - No change: Select this option to keep the width of the selected objects the same.

   - Shrink to smallest: Select this option to change the width of all selected objects to the width of the smallest object.

   - Grow to largest: Select this option to change the width of all selected objects to the width of the largest object.

   - Custom Width: Select this option to set an exact width for the selected objects. Type in a number or use the arrows to set a new width.

6. When you are finished, click OK.

Tip: The x (horizontal) and y (vertical) coordinates of the mouse are automatically displayed in the lower-right corner of the Captivate project window as you move the mouse. Knowing exact coordinates can help you place objects in a precise location on a slide.
