Diagram Protection will be damaged by Group Action ???
Hi,
I have draw a simple square shape. then I use protection function to luck the "High" of this. It works fine, since I can't change the shape's hight now. but if I group this shap with other shapes. there is the problem ! when the group have been resized, the protection function is not working now. The squire's Hight will increase with the Group. why ? how to avoid this ? any ideals ? thanks |

The reason is technical and may not seem right. When you create a group the
Width and Height of the shape are redefined in terms of the Width and Height of the group shape. This doesn't change the height of the shape, but it does make the height of the shape dependent on the height of the group. Later when you resize the group, the height of the shape resized with it. If you want to completely lock down the height of the shape, you need to place a GUARD formula in the Shapesheet for that item. Go to Windows Show Shapesheet. Then find the Height cell and enter "=GUARD(2in)" or a similar formula. -- Mark Nelson Microsoft Corporation This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
