Resizing Grouped Shapes

If they are grouped and you select the group shouldn't be a problem to resize.

Thanks, Phil. But what I mean is I have a certain amount of text in the text shape (1) and I've set 'Resize shape to fit text' with (left, right, top, bottom) margins of, say, 25 each. If I add or remove text, the text shape (1) will resize its height accordingly. But the colored shape (2) will remain the original height. See attached.

It would be easier to have a shape that includes a colored bar/side rather than 2 shapes. Or to have a way for the colored shape (2) to automatically resize itself to the height of the text shape (1).

OK makes sense, nothing like that exists, it is going to be a feature request.

Figured as much. Thanks for your time anyway, just making sure I exhaust all ideas.

Of course, there's a way. I'll leave it to you to decide if it is worth the investment. It does illustrate why I'm such an avid supporter of dedicated programs. You can make this shape in seconds in a graphics program, import it and put text on it.

Option B: You don't have to group them. Select them both, and they will resize together.

Option C: Second video shows a fast way to get them both the same height.

Thank you, Mr. Hamilton. Option C actually gives me the best version of what I'm trying to accomplish. I didn't think to manipulate the arm of the callout.
