Shortcuts to Success: One Step Scaling
SPD-U SHORTCUT OF THE WEEK
Proportionately Scale both Container and Content
command + shift + drag bounding box handle
Every graphic placed in InDesign has two parts: a graphic frame, which is the container, and the placed image file, which is the content. Making them bigger and smaller is a big part of doing a layout, but working with each part individually takes more time than it needs to. To proportionately scale the content and container together, while holding down the command and shift keys, click hold and drag a handle of the bounding box with the Selection Tool (black arrow).
HOT TIP: This works with text and text frames, too.
