hello there!

I would like to rescale "pictures" in my document.

To do so requires a whole host of keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks (as far as
my oo abilities go...)

My document is rather large, and I dread the fact of having to rescale
_manually_ a zillion graphics / pictures that way.

Hence, what I'm looking for is a bit of automation (I hope I can avoid using
"macros" for this though).

Either, is there a way to set global "scale" settings for "pictures",
or is there a way of copy & paste of the scale (say, 70 %) from one graphic to
the next (which would still be a lot quicker) ?

I tried "create a new style from selection" when a graphic is selected and in
"Styles and Formatting" > "Frame Styles" > "Graphics" is highlighted.

What is not there is "Pictures" with the "scale" option... :(

Any ideas most welcome,

ox.

This might be related to issue 30523.

I've got an idea regarding this feature:

1. Allow the selection of multiple objects within the Navigator
2. Allow to set configuration settings (eg. by using the dialog /format/picture)
for all multi-selected objects

btw. the feature to input the size as percentage value is available since
StarOffice 3.0 (years before OpenOffice.org was founded)
