Ok last year when I was working on ActivStudio 1 I was able to right click on an image and it would pull up a screen that would allow me to size it for the screen. Now that I have the upgraded PE2 version, I no longer can do this. This makes it much harder for me to scan my Standardized TEst practices, because it takes 2x as long to do it. Is this just a glitch or do I have something set wrong??

Hi

If you just double click on the image you will get an option to click on the "+" which will increase it.... or you can use the handles which appear when you click on an object.

Is this what you mean? If not, if you could give a few more details and I'll see if I can help +wave+

Do you mean the fit option that appeared on the right click menu in AS1?
If so, then that can still be found in AS2.
Right click on the object. Choose Edit & in the edit menu are the fit options.

still doesn't work as easily as AS1. The best fit option is not there.

The best fit option is still there but it has been split into 2.
In AS1 when you choose best fit it made the image proportionately correct but you didn't have any control over how it was proportioned in relation to the width or height of the object
In AS2 you now have that choice.
Say you have an object on the page that is disproportionately wide.
If you fit by width then the object keeps that width but increases the height of the object so that it is in proportion
If you take the same object and fit by height then the object keeps the height but decreases the width.
