Re: Height and Width always blank

Strange thing is I don't think that's the one I remember. I'm pretty sure I
added a few (wrong) ideas!

Nice find, John!

It *is* a maddening little buglet (or "by design-let"), and I've sure got no
idea what the difference is between objects that exhibit this behavior and
objects that don't.

A recent problem has cropped up in PPT 2003 / Windows. Whenever I
create a
drawing object and go into Format Object, both the height and width
fields
are blank. Same thing for the scaling fields. If I try to use the
spinners,
the values start at zero...nowhere near the size of the actual
object. Has
anyone seen this or have suggestions how to fix?

If I had a working brain, yes.

I've seen it and was able to figure out the problem but can't for the
life of me
recall how.

Those who can't remember the past are condemned to repeat it, so they
say.

I'm willing to repeat if you're willing to send me a sample slide.
Just one, not a huge file, please.
