I was given a document with some graphics which were drawn in Word using
squares, lines and text boxes and then grouped.  I need to resize these
graphics.  All works fine except the text in the text boxes - it stays the
same and doesn't resize proportionately.  I tried converting one of the
graphics to JPG - the lines became very fuzzy and the text unreadable.
What's the best way to handle resizing these graphics to keep them sharp and
the text readable but resizesable?

In order to maintain optimum readability (and any _editablity_) you'll have
to select the shapes containing text and change the font size.

The only other option I know of is to use the AutoShape's Text Box
Properties & put a check in the box to 'Resize AutoShape to Fit Text'. The
shape will resize based on font size, but the shapes without text content
will not be affected even if a part of the same group.
