Grouping and re-sizing of objects

[Kathryn40]

Hi
I'm new to scrapbook Max but I've noticed that even though I can select items by -click,hold and drag- I can't be selective about the items I need to group.

I would like to be able to click on one object then hold down Ctrl and select other individual objects then either group or re-size them together to keep the same proportions.

I would also like to be able to fix a group for example a frame and a photo so that I can move it around as 1 unit, or if I change my mind ungroup.
This is standard in a program like microsoft powerpoint.

Thanks for considering this as an improvement or enlightening me on how this can be done with the current software.

Kathryn,
You can do this. Just click on an object, hold down the ctrl and click on the other items you want then right click and a menu will pop up. click on the group option. That will group the items you have selected and you can resize them, this will keep the same proportions.
