Sizing an image or Symbol
This might be in the Tome, but I still have over 600 pages to go.
Is there a way to size an image by typing as opposed to Cntl clicking and dragging the mouse?
I find that using Cntl and dragging the image flickers a lot and jumps all over the place. Is there a way to see an images size and adjust it by changing the size using the keyboard rather than the using the mouse?

If you right click the Scale button there are several options available.
Either of the Non-visual Scale options will do the job. The second one will allow you to scale by different factors in X and Y dimensions.
In addition to what Sue just said, if you need to change the size as you are placing a new symbol (as opposed to scaling something already in the map), there is no direct keyboard shortcut because the keyboard typing is used to place the entities in this case, but you can always right click in the drawing to bring up the parameters dialog which will let you type the values exactly, and then just hit More to continue placing and seeing the new scale.
Thanks Guys! Will attempt all that. I am so used to Photoshop where I have so much control and accuracy. Struggling a bit here, but I will get used to it.
