Resize multiple objects at once

I got this calendar from Adobe Exchange, meaning that someone else placed all the holiday boxes. I need to mass font and style sheet changes. What would I anchor them to except the cells of the table (days of the week)? I will still need to add additional items to each day, sometimes across two or three days. The items and holidays need to float. Really, thanks for the other help but I hate anchored objects unless Im working on a long document with a long text flow.

I watched some of the videos for CS4 but havent had the time to see much InDesign, except its interactivity with Flash. Is there a specific video I should see?

Thanks but Im sort of allergic to anchored objects. Im making a calendar and the objects Im dealing with are the holidays. They dont need to be anchored to anything.

Whew! it was hard to find this question but this answers most of my problem. The only thing I dont understand is why Object Styles dont have a place for position or dimensions.

Thanks guys!

OK...I guess my question stems from wondering how you're creating your Text Frames in the first place, and after that, how you copy and resize them.

When I do this sort of thing, I like to use the Rectangle Frame Tool, then I click in the document and enter the size numerically. Then Option + Drag to create copies. The "Content" parameter for the frames can be assigned now, or later, after you resize them.

I guess what I don't understand is how you're resizing them? You're doing them individually, and manually, to fit the space, right? If you constrain the resizing to horizontal only, you shouldn't have a problem with the height of the boxes changing.

I dunno, maybe I'm missing something from your workflow that presents a special case?

Sorry - I rarely use Flickr and overlooked the "view by anyone" option. Hope I've fixed it now.

I don't do Flickr/Yahoo, and won't sign up just to view an image.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm used to using something like FreeHand where you can drag a marquee around a number of objects at once then set a common x height, and hit return. But it doesn't seem to be an option in InDesign. While I clone the objects its easy to accidentally make them higher as I stretch them to the required horizontal size.

Here's a screen dump of some of the fields: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25543141@N04/2866090197/

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I won't bore you all with the silly thing I was trying to do.

Thanks!

Transform Again Individually! Until you mentioned it, I had never noticed that before.

Thanks. I'll be using it all the time now.
