ShapeRange.StretchEx method

Stretches the shapes in the shape range using the anchor point

Syntax:

Sub StretchEx(ByVal CenterX As Double, ByVal CenterY As Double, ByVal StretchX As Double, Optional ByVal StretchY As Double = 0, Optional ByVal StretchCharactersSize As Boolean = False)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
CenterX	Double
CenterY	Double
StretchX	Double
StretchY	Double	Specifies the vertical stretch factor. If not specified, this value is assigned the same value as the StretchX parameter, resulting in a proportional stretch.
StretchCharactersSize	Boolean	Specifies whether to stretch characters.

Remarks:

The StretchEx method stretches the shapes in a shape range, treating the range as a single object. The range is distorted relative to a point that is specified as the center of distortion.

Examples:

The following VBA example stretches all of shapes on the page by 200%, using the center of the page as the center of the distortion.

Sub Test()
ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrBottomLeft
With ActivePage
  .Shapes.All.StretchEx .CenterX, .CenterY, 2
End With 
End Sub
