The top section of the page (Text) offers several options in the form of
checkboxes. Some of the options will be grayed out, depending on the
object to which the text will be attached.
• Select Fit width to text to expand the width of the shape or line
if the text is too long for it.
• Select Word wrap text in shape to start a new line automatically
when the edge of the shape is reached.
• Select Fit height to text to expand the object height whenever it
is smaller than the text (set by default for lines).
• Select Resize shape to fit text to expand a custom shape when
the text inserted in the shape is too large.
