ScaleHeight Method [Publisher 2003 VBA Language Reference]

  • Article

Scales the height 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.

expression.ScaleHeight(Factor, RelativeToOriginalSize, fScale)

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

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

MsoTriState

MsoTriState can be one of these MsoTriState constants.
msoCTrue Not used with this method.
msoFalse Scales the shape relative to its current size.
msoTriStateMixed Not used with this method.
msoTriStateToggle Not used with this method.
msoTrue Scales the shape relative to its original size.

MsoScaleFrom

MsoScaleFrom can be one of these MsoScaleFrom constants.
msoScaleFromBottomRight
msoScaleFromMiddle
msoScaleFromTopLeftdefault

Remarks

Shapes other than pictures and OLE objects are always scaled relative to their current height; specifying a RelativeToOriginalSize value of msoTrue for shapes other than pictures or OLE objects causes an error.

Use the ScaleWidth method to scale the width of a shape.

Example

This example scales all pictures and OLE objects on the first page of the active publication to 175 percent of their original height and width, and it scales all other shapes to 175 percent of their current height and width.
