Scale To Fit: Resizes the image to fit the object’s dimensions as well as possible. If the
object’s shape is different from the original image’s, parts of the image may not appear;
blank space may also appear around the image.
Scale To Fill: Makes the image appear larger or smaller, sizing it to leave minimum
space around the image, even if the object and image have different shapes.
Stretch: Sizes the image to fit the object’s dimensions but distorts it if the object has a
shape different from that of the original image.
Original Size: Places the image inside the object without altering its original
dimensions. If the image is larger than the object, you see only a part of the image in
the object. If the image is smaller than the object, there is blank space around it.
Tile: Repeats the image inside the object, if the image is smaller than the object. If the
image is larger than the object, you see only part of the image inside the object.

Copying an Object’s Style to Another Object

After you’ve created a visual effect for text, shapes, or a table (or individual table cells)
that you want to reuse, you can copy and paste the effect to other text or another
object, so that you don’t have to repeat the actions on each one. Text styles can be
pasted only to text; object styles can be pasted to other objects.

To copy styles to other objects:

Select the text, shape, table, or table cells whose effects you want to reuse.
