Default Adjusting Text box size

In Access 2007, after creating a form using the wizard, all of the text boxes
created for entering data are the same size. When I try to adjust the width
of one, they all change width.
How can I unlock or change this feature?
I have deleted a box, and then re-added it. This sometimes works -- however
if you get the size close to the size of the other boxes, it “locks in” again.
I appreciate all sincere answers.
Ron
