I am using Vista. When I try to adjust the size of a rectangle by selecting
the either an edge or a corner it reverts to a narrow horizontal bar. How do
I over ride this to make the size box I want without typing in specific
values?
 
Jean-Pierre,

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately that did not help. It seems to
be some setting that is locked. This just started this morning.

Right-click the object, choose Format Object (or Format Shape). In the
Textbox tab, do you have "resize autoshape to fit text" selected?

If so, uncheck it and try again.
