PPT98: Dragging Size Handle Doesn't Change Height of Autoshape (188374)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q188374 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to increase the height of a Callout AutoShape, the
AutoShape moves up or down on the page and its height is not increased.
This behavior does not occur when you attempt to increase its width.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the "Resize AutoShape to fit text" option is
selected. When this option is selected, you can increase the height of the
AutoShape only by entering text in the callout.
RESOLUTION
To resize the AutoShape by dragging a resizing handle, turn off the "Resize
AutoShape to fit text" option, following these steps:
- Select the AutoShape.
- On the Format menu, click AutoShape.
- Click the Text Box tab.
- Click to clear the "Resize AutoShape to fit text" check box.
- Click OK.
You can now increase the height of the callout by dragging a resizing
handle.
