Scaling Buttons

Mar 15, 2021

I'm finding that when I insert a button with rounded corners, it loses its shape when I try to make it bigger. It goes from being round on both ends to being curved. Is there a way to retain the proportions as the button scales up?

If you use a pre-built button then you're working with the constraint of the button. However, you can easily create your own button from a shape and then control its scaling.

  • Insert a shape.
  • Insert a pre-built button.
  • Select the button and use format painter to apply the button to the shape.
  • Now the shape is a button.
  • When you resize up or down from the corner, hold the SHIFT key and it will scale.
