[Solved] Scaling a text box & the text it contains together

[greyham]

I have a drawing in OOo Draw containing a number of text boxes and an image all grouped together. I want to scale the whole thing, but when I do the size of the text within the boxes doesn't scale so; the end result looks ridiculous.

After reading these bug reports, it looks as though OOo Draw lacks the basic ability to scale objects and their properties (like the text in an object):

Does anyone know any workaround for this?

Thanks!

Cut the text box, paste special, GDI metafile.

Thanks! That's a very handy workaround.
