Rotating, skewing, resizing. These are common tasks. When you must transform multiple objects the same way, say, scaling a page of image frames up to specific X and Y dimensions, it can be tedious. What you may not know is that InDesign CS2 includes commands to end the tedium.
Transform your first object by rotating, scaling, skewing, or whatever. Now select your second object, but don’t actually transform it. Instead, go to Object > Transform Again > Transform Again. The transformation operation you performed on the first object will replicate on the second.
There’s even a keyboard shortcut! Select your third object, hit the keyboard shortcut shown next to the Transform Again menu command, and move on to the fourth object to be transformed.
Want to transform a whole page of objects all at once instead of doing them one at a time? That’s just as easy. Perform your transformations once, and then select all other transformation candidates. Choose Object > Transform Again > Transform Again Individually, and all selected objects will rotate, scale, or skew to match the first.
