RE: resizing objects fails

["Jan Kester" <jan kester puntoseguro com>]

The problem is that the relative sizes of the boxes is difficult to control.
If one box contains a lot of text and the other little, they will have
different sizes. I'd rather have equal sized boxes, some with lots of texts,
some with little.

What do you think?

If your problem simply is fitting the diagram into one page you could
just set the scaling in the Page Setup-dialog (in the File-menu) to
"Fit to: 1 by 1".
