You cannot adjust the size of the card - but you also do not need to do
this.

Try creating your stack with just one card at first. Put together
everything you need on that first card, then group all those objects
together. Then, set the backgroundbehavior of that group to true.

>From this point, when you are on a card that has this background and you
create a new card, all the objects from that background will appear on
the new card.

You can also use the place command - but I suggest starting with the
above method at first, until you are fully familiar with the way groups,
backgrounds, cards, and stacks are structured and interact.

Good luck

Subject: how to set the size of the card smaller than the size of the
stack

Hello,

Does anyone know how to set the size of the card smaller than the size
of the stack. When I create a new card in a stack, the card is the same
size as the stack.  I want its size smaller


I have a main stack:  In this stack I have 5 cards
On the first card I have all graphics set up like background,
borders.... and I also create 5 buttons to link to different cards

Here is the problem:  every time I create a new card, I have to copy all
the graphics from the first card and paste into the new card (I want all
card have the same look, just want to change the content)

Is there any better way to do this

I did another way by creating different substacks but it did not work
the way I want it because those substacks are displayed in different
locations (user's screen resolution)

Thank you for your help
