I'm sure, in past versions of Visio, there used to be an option where you could select a bunch of shapes, and select size, make equal. Somewhere around the Align and Position tabs on the Home menu.
It's possible I'm confusing visio with Visual Studio, which I believe does have this option in the design screen.
Is there such an option in Visio? It would be so useful - I don't want to actually have to type in a size for the shape - I just want them all to be the same size, preferably able to select whether I mean horizontal size, vertical size or both.

Use the Size and Position window (menu View -> Task Panes). Select the shapes you want, then to change the width of them all just types in a new width.
3You can use the F4 key to duplicate the last keystroke for instance, if you choose a shape, put in the height that you want, then choose the next shape and hit the F4 key, it will duplicate the same height, then you won't have to physically type the change for each item - hope that helps
This is an old thread, but the newest version of Visual Studio allows you to do this without hitting F4. Select the objects, go to View > Task Pans > Size & Position, and adjust as necessary. All objects will change together.
