Setting the width of a button, field, or card window resizes it. Setting the width of a card resizes all the cards in a stack. You can't set the menu bar's width. Note: HyperCard restricts the width of a card to 32-pixel increments beginning from 64, the smallest width. For example, setting the width of a card to 420 results in a width of 416. HyperCard maintains the location (center coordinate) of the object, expanding or shrinking it on both sides evenly. Examples
