# Resizing Objects to the Selection Box

Objects can also be resized to the selection box. When you use this option, the objects are resized to either the height or the width of the selection box. You can adjust the selection box to the correct height or width before you resize the objects. This is a good method to use if none of your objects are the correct size or if the object that is the correct size is not the largest or smallest in the group. It should be noted, however, that the objects do not maintain their relative position on the page as they do with the other options. Instead, they are placed within the redrawn selection box.
