ScaleWidth Method

Microsoft Word Visual Basic

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
