Resize Box to Text but Keep Proportion
 

This is something that I do all the time: I drop a box on, type some text into it, then resize it. Usually I'm resizing it to make it wider, but I also usually want to keep the same approximate proportions.

I found Size / Make Natural Size, which seems to resize vertically, but are there any other auto resize options or any way to do this?

Thanks

One work-around I use when wanting to resize objects is make a master object out of it (Edit > Copy As > PDF). Then paste it, it will then be resizable proportionally, to edit however, you'll need to double click it which will open the original in a separate doc (like stencils)

Master objects is super cool, learn that tool and OG can go toe-to-toe with visio and InDesign.

Does not work
 

At least in v5 the content in the new document is still the original size. It's just the PDF that is resized.

IMHO I think the action of "Copy As PDF" though accurate, isn't the best label for this function. I think it should say "Make Master Object" with the default as a PDF.
