Word 2003 - Text Box

[Guest]

Whenever I used to place a Text Box from the "Insert" menu, around a word or
phrase, the box automatically conformed to the size and shape of the word or
phrase. Now when I do this, it only prints one size of Text Box, and I must
adjust the size manually. I don't know what caused this feature to work
differently. I'm not sure, but this change might happened when I upgraded to
Word 2003. Does anyone know how to make the Text Box automatically adjust to
the size of the message within it?

Insert a text box. Right-click on an edge of the text box, and
left-click on Format Text Box | Text Box tab | check the "Resize
AutoShape to fit text" box | OK. To make this setting the default,
right-click on an edge of the text box again, and left-click on Set
Autoshape Defaults.
