2. Place your mouse pointer over one of the selection handles. You'll see your mouse pointer changes into a double-headed arrow.

► If you choose a corner square, your mouse makes a diagonal double-headed arrow.

3. Once you have a double-headed arrow, click-hold-and-drag to make your object bigger or smaller.

► Drag diagonally with a corner double-headed arrow.

► Drag up or down with a vertical double-headed arrow.
