    Default Scaling objects and text - ID CS problem - please help!

    I have a problem with ID CS that didn't occur with previous versions. When I select all objects on a page (unlock all layers, Ctrl-A) and use the scale command to reduce the size, some but not all of the text is resized. I am using this to resize large and complex display adverts, and I have selected 'Adjust text attributes when scaling' in Preferences. With some text attributes, they are scaled. Many others aren't. The result is a mess, which can take hours to sort out. This never happened with ID 1 or 1.5 (I never used 2). Has anyone else had this problem, and either found a solution, or found why some text attributes scale and some don't?

    Many thanks,

    Jacob.

    Well, I've found out the deciding factor: when text boxes are grouped together with other objects, the text attributes don't scale along with everything else. This is either a bug or a very odd 'feature'. Hmmm.

    I export as EPS and scale that. Most pubs would rather have an EPS or PDF
    than an Indesign file, anyway.
