SCALING OBJECTS WHILE MAINTAINING OBJECT STRUCTURE

Objects are scaled by scaling properties that affect a physical layout of the object. A scaling factor is determined and each of the determined properties for an object are scaled based on the scaling factor. For example, when scaling a table, properties such as width, height, border widths, padding, text spacing, margins, indents, font size, cells, columns, and the like, may be scaled based on the scaling factor. Determined properties of any objects that are contained within an object are also scaled based on the scaling factor. The scaling process is repeated for each object that is contained within an object. After scaling, a user may still interact with the object in the same manner as before scaling. One or more ranges may be selected within a document where scaling is desired that include all/portion of the document.
