Three ways to set the SmartArt size in Word2013

Method 1: Drag the border to set the size of the SmartArt graphic

Click to select a SmartArt graphic and 6 handles appear on the top, bottom, left, right, and four corners of the graphics border. Point to these handles, and then drag to change the size of the SmartArt graphic when the mouse pointer changes to a double-headed arrow shape. If you hold down the SHIFT key while you are dragging, you can lock the aspect ratio, as shown in Figure 1.

If you want to set the size of your SmartArt graphic more precisely, you can do so by specifying a specific number. Select the SmartArt graphic and enter the width and height in the size group in the SmartArt Tools/Formatting ribbon, as shown in Figure 2.
