Thanks, but I know how to resize things in general. it's just that results looked terrible with the barcodes - the relative size and spacing of the bars did not appear to be held perfectly constant, and it seemed unlikely to me that the resize graphic would scan correctly. I think this is because the barcode is implemented as a group of vector graphics rather than a bitmapped image, and perhaps there is an option somewhere to make these types of elements resize more correctly. Or maybe it was just a bug in 1.3.4. -------------- Marc Sabatella marc at outsideshore.com
