Resize multiple objects at once

Did it before I posted. Works like a charm.

I set the height in the Control panel.

It's kind of hard to say without seeing how you're designing your form.

But is there no way in your design method where you could create one text field to size, then Option + Drag to copy it into place? Hold Shift to keep them aligned, or align them afterwards?

Or use text frame options to create rows &/or columns?

It might help to know a little more about the nature and layout of your form. Maybe even seeing a screen grab of what you've done so far, with some annotations about what you're wanting to improve or fix? If you can't host the screenshot on your own server space, you can use http://www.pixentral.com for free image hosting.

Dozens of time.
Dragging an edge with the selection tool is a transformation.
Dragging with the direct-selection tool is not.

My main problem with "tranform again" is that resizing to an absolute size (i.e. "50mm" instead of "50%") uses the W/H fields and thereby does not scale images in their frames.

Tom and Dave,

Have you actually done what you propose?

I thought of Transform Again (Each) last night, but changing the height of an object is not a transformation that is then available for Transform Again.

Or did I miss something?

InDesign doesn't have a Transform Each like Illustrator. That said, you can change the height of the first frame, and select each of the others in turn and use Object > Transform Again (shortcut Cmd+Opt+3).
