Resize Pictures and OLE Objects (% of Original Size)...

This tool resizes the selected pictures and OLE objects based on a percentage of their original size.

You can enter a percentage when you run the tool.
For example:

  • 50% shrinks it to half its original size
  • 100% returns it to its original size
  • 200% doubles its original size

This makes it easy to resize objects consistently, without manually adjusting them one by one or opening the Format Picture pane in Excel.

Supported object types include:

  • Pictures
  • Linked pictures
  • Embedded OLE objects
  • Linked OLE objects
  • OLE control objects

This is useful for streamlining layouts, scaling imported graphics, or adjusting multiple objects at once for printing or presentation.
