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 or the current size. Shapes other than pictures and OLE objects are always scaled relative to their current height.
Syntax
expression.ScaleHeight (Factor, RelativeToOriginalSize, Scale)
expression A variable that represents a Shape object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| RelativeToOriginalSize | Required | MsoTriState | msoTrue to scale the shape relative to its original size. msoFalse to scale it relative to its current size. You can specify msoTrue for this argument only if the specified shape is a picture or an OLE object. |
| Scale | Optional | Variant | One of the constants of MsoScaleFrom, which specifies which part of the shape retains its position when the shape is scaled. |
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 = Worksheets(1)
For Each s In myDocument.Shapes
Select Case s.Type

s.ScaleWidth 1.75, msoTrue
Case Else
s.ScaleHeight 1.75, msoFalse
s.ScaleWidth 1.75, msoFalse
End Select
