Problem

Symptoms: The size of a graphics box changes after you add rotated text in the edit screen. The following steps duplicate the problem:
1. From a blank screen press Alt-F9
2. Select a type of graphics box, then select Create (1)
3. Change the settings as follows:
a. Contents--Text
b. Anchor Type--Paragraph
c. Horizontal Position--Left
d. Vertical Position--0
e. Size, Set Both, Width=1.5", Height=8"
4. Select Edit
5. Press Alt-F9 to rotate the text 90 degrees
6. Type in some text (notice that it wraps at 1.5")
7. Exit back to the graphics box definition screen

RESULT: The size of the box has changed to 1.5" by 1.5". If you change the size back to 1.5" wide and 8" high, then go back and edit the text, the text now wraps at 8". When you exit back out, the size is still at 1.5" by 8". Why do you have to change the size back to what it originally was to make it work?

If you set the box size for a text box then rotate the text to 90 or 270 degrees, the height of the box is changed. The height is set to what the width of the box was before rotating. Solutions: Status:      Sent to Development
