Manipulating shapes

Hi, very much enjoyed my recent PP2007 beginners course. I am creating shapes by joining standard shapes and then grouping them. When I'm reducing the size of a shape so I can butt it up to another shape, I'm unable to do a precise size reduction...the shape reduces in stages making it either too big or too small. Mark did tell us how to make to shape reduction/movement much smoother for accurate alignment but I've forgotten! How do I do it?
