I can't resize an object the way I want
Either the Resize object to fit text option or the Lock aspect ratio option is selected. Select the object and then do one of the following:
- On the Format menu, click AutoShape or Text Box, and then click the Text Box tab. Clear the Resize AutoShape to fit text check box.
- On the Format menu, click the command for the type of object you selected — for example, AutoShape or Picture.
Click the Size tab, and then clear the Lock aspect ratio check box.
