  apply another grow /shrink> on click. In the % box type the figure you need
in the custom box and hit enter. Then add another grow afoter previous for
the next item
Simple maths to work out the shrink %age If the grow was 150% the shrink
is 67% (more or less)

Did that help?

  Use the same animation that you used to grow...except set the "smaller"
settings instead. Then create the 2nd grow animation on your other object,
but have it appear "with previous" on the click for the shrink animation.

Did that help at all?

  Answer
  NB If you just use larger (150%) and smaller (50%) the object will end up a
fair bit smaller than it started.
