Tip of the Week: Scaling without Grouping

id_appicon In previous tips, we’ve told you that you can scale grouped text and images together by holding the Cmd/Ctrl+Shift key and then dragging. But grouping can be awkward, as objects all move to the same layer.
Fortunately, you can resize multiple objects without grouping them. Select all the objects and switch to the Free Transform tool in InDesign’s toolbar. Then simply drag on a corner of the selection and hold the Shift key to constrain the proportions.
Your objects scale together without being grouped.
