Default Text Box Multi-line

I stumbled across the Text Box, Multi-Line (the one with sliders) and
attempted to use it on an Organization Chart.

Every time I pasted text into the box, the box would automatically expand to
accomodate the text making the sliders superfluous. Text was never hidden so
the sliders were of no use.

The problem is that the amount of text makes the text box overwhelm the rest
of the drawing - the text box would only have value if large amounts of text
was hidden and was accessed by scrolling the text with the sliders.

What am I doing wrong? I know some shapes lose functionality if they are
dropped onto the wrong type of drawing.

Thanks.
