Default Can't resize some shapes now?

Hi. In Viso 2002, I was able to change both the height and length of a slider
shape. Visio 2003, however, lets me change just the length (even if I remove
the protections). What's up with that?

The height of the shape is guarded to be 25 pixels. This matches the
Windows XP user interface specifications.

So if someone is designing an interface that doesn't need to emulate Windows
specs, and that person wants to include a slider control but also wants to
modify it to fit the given UI, that person is out of luck?

Though the shape is protected from casual changes, you can still go in and
modify the shape's shapeheet (the definition of the shape) and remove the
restriction.
