Default resize a group of pictures in one go

Thanks, Ed, I stand corrected.

The pictures do have to be floating (not in line), and you can't
select them with Select All (Ctrl+A).

If you want them all sized the same _and_ in line with text, you can
set them to Square wrapping, select them and resize them al, and
finally convert them back to in-line.

Hello Resizing ... (?) and Jay,

Maybe I'm missing something (not for the first time) but ...

I'm using Word 2003 and I can re-size a selection of pictures (clip art, at
least)provided (I think) none of them is formatted as in line with text.

To select them you can either use CTRL-click or the selection tool on the
drawing toolbar.

Once they're selected you can re-size them by dragging the sizing handles:
this seems to re-size them proportionately. Or you can specify an exact size
in the format picture dialog (on the right-click menu): this seems to set
them both to the size you specify.

Cheers.

Ed
