To resize an object, first click the object you want to resize. Sizing handles appear around the edges of the object.
Click and drag one of the handles inward to make the object smaller or outward to make it bigger; then release the mouse button.
To move an object, click the object and drag it to the spot where you want it to appear. Release the mouse button to drop the object in its new location.
The object is moved.
INTRODUCTION
You can easily move or resize objects including text, art, tables, and charts on a slide, or you can move them to another slide. In addition to resizing and moving objects, you can cut, copy, and paste them just as you do in Word (refer to p. 38 for more information).
TIP
Correct Proportions
Using the corner border handles to resize an object increases or decreases proportionately. If you use the side border handles, you increase the horizontal and vertical sizes separately, possibly making the object look disproportionate.
TIP
Rotating Objects
To rotate an object, double-click the object to open its Format dialog box. Select the Size tab and alter the Rotation angle so that it alters the displayed direction of the object for example, by 90°.
