auto-shrink text boxes

To Kevin, if I'm reading your post correctly, it sounds like you're describing global options for all text boxes. I like your options but only if we can set them at the object level. I can imagine design scenarios where I want the majority of my text boxes to auto-size, but still want set specific sizes on other text boxes (so that I can use the alignment tools to consistently space same-sized text boxes). Thoughts? I was thinking about that as I wrote it. It's kind of a trade-off, since having a global-level option can make it inconvenient when you have exceptions, but having an object-level option can make it inconvenient when you don't have exceptions.Although, I was going to make a different suggestion, but I just realized that it's not needed. If you check the box for Size/Position Locked, then you can type in new text without the box growing. That can at least offset the need of shrinking if the box never grows. I'll have to use that more often, methinks.Kevin
