I'm trying to make a logo and having problems with clip art. I'm adding text
with the piece of art and then grouping together so I can size up or down and
no matter what I do, when I start to size smaller, the text starts
disappearing. That's even if I make sure in formatting I use "shrink text on
overflow". I'm using a vector image right now but I've tried all types and
none work when I want to make smaller or larger. I'm also going to have to
change this grouped image to a jpeg or gif if I want to put on a new website.
Help! I have no clue why I can never resize clip art if it has text attached
to it.

Wouldn't it be simpler to resize the object and the font size in the text box
separately and then position them.

Yes, it would probably be easier but then if I get in a situation where it's
in a letter or an email, and it needs to be smaller, I have to fix each
individually and that can be a pain. I assume when you group something that
you can resize and nothing will change, but obviously that isn't so.

Group them together, right-click, save as a picture. Or copy and paste special
as a .wmf.
