2. Shape Resizing Issue in PowerPoint 2007
When you transition from PowerPoint 2003 to PowerPoint 2007, you might
come across an annoying issue when you try to resize a shape. For some
reason, the shape or object cannot be resized by dragging one of the corner
or side points. Instead of holding the new size, it snaps back to a smaller
height. You can manually format the size of each shape by specifying the
exact height, but that can be a tedious process after a few shapes.
In PowerPoint 2007, you might run into a problem where a shape snaps to a
smaller height when you try to resize it.
3. How to fix the shape resizing problem
After some frustration when I first encountered this issue in PowerPoint
2007, I discovered the source of this problem. By default in PowerPoint
2007, the setting for shapes was “resize shape to fit text”. In order to resize
the shape, you need to right-click on the shape and select “Format
Shape” in the menu options. Under theText Box tab in the Format Shape
pop-up window, you have the option to change from “resize shape to fit
text” to “Do not Autofit”. If you want to avoid this problem on your next
shape, right-click on the object you just altered and select “Set as Default
Shape” from the menu options. New shapes will not leverage the Autofit
feature.
4. In order to fix this problem, you need to adjust the Autofit
setting for the shape.
If you run into this problem when you transition to PowerPoint 2007, I hope this article
will spare you some of the hair pulling and teeth grinding that I experienced. Autofit can
be helpful with text boxes, but it is generally annoying with drawing shapes in
PowerPoint.
