ScaleWidth Method

Scales the width of the shape by a specified factor. For pictures and OLE objects, you can indicate whether you want to scale the shape relative to the original size or relative to the current size. Shapes other than pictures and OLE objects are always scaled relative to their current width.

expression.ScaleWidth(Factor, RelativeToOriginalSize, Scale)

expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Factor Required Single. Specifies the ratio between the width of the shape after you resize it and the current or original width. For example, to make a rectangle 50 percent larger, specify 1.5 for this argument.

RelativeToOriginalSize Required MsoTriState. True to scale the shape relative to its original size. False to scale it relative to its current size. You can specify True for this argument only if the specified shape is a picture or an OLE object.

MsoTriState can be one of these MsoTriState constants.

msoCTrue

msoFalse

msoTriStateMixed

msoTriStateToggle

msoTrue

Scale Optional MsoScaleFrom. The part of the shape that retains its position when the shape is scaled.

MsoScaleFrom can be one of these MsoScaleFrom constants.

msoScaleFromBottomRight

msoScaleFromTopLeft default

msoScaleFromMiddle

Example

This example scales all pictures and OLE objects on myDocument to 175 percent of their original height and width, and it scales all other shapes to 175 percent of their current height and width.

Set myDocument = ActiveDocument
For Each s In myDocument.Shapes
    Select Case s.Type
        Case msoEmbeddedOLEObject, msoLinkedOLEObject, _
                msoOLEControlObject, _
                msoLinkedPicture, msoPicture
            s.ScaleHeight 1.75, True
            s.ScaleWidth 1.75, True
        Case Else
            s.ScaleHeight 1.75, False
            s.ScaleWidth 1.75, False
    End Select
Next
