"Resize autoshape to fit text" not working
Hi all,
This has been a recurring problem for me, but I haven't had any luck finding anyone else with the same problem: I have text-boxes in a document which I would like to be sized to fit the text inside them. I have the "word wrap" and 'resize autoshape to fit text" boxes checked, but it is acting as if I had "resize autoshape to fit text" unchecked. I have been fiddling around and can't find a clue of why it's acting so strangely. Any ideas? Jamie. |

"Resize autoshape to fit text" not working
Try renaming the blank document template (normal.dot), with Word closed, and
then start Word again. Do the text boxes work correctly in a newly created document? If they do, the following should work to fix each old document: Create a new blank document. In the problem document, press Ctrl+A, press Shift+Left arrow (this selects the whole document except for the final paragraph mark), then press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard. In the newly created document, press Ctrl+V to paste clipboard contents. Save the file. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jamie" wrote: Hi all, This has been a recurring problem for me, but I haven't had any luck finding anyone else with the same problem: I have text-boxes in a document which I would like to be sized to fit the text inside them.
