In MS Access and MS Excel, I can change the width or the height on an object by pressing the Shift key and then pressing one of the four arrow keys. &nbsp;This is a terrific feature. &nbsp;It allows me to easily increase or decrease the size of an object by one grid unit. &nbsp;Accomplishing the same thing with the mouse can be an exercise in frustration. &nbsp;It would be great I had the same ability in MS Visio. &nbsp;Unfortunately, Shift + an arrow key just moves the object. &nbsp;I've also tried Ctrl + Arrow, Alt + Arrow, Ctrl + Shift + Arrow, ... etc. &nbsp;None work. &nbsp;So, is it possible to resize objects in Visio using the arrow keys? &nbsp;If so, how is it done?
