Callout grips

[Rich]

I noticed a change from Visio 2002 to 2007 with the side callout symbol. I
used to be able to select the callout and change the size of the text box.
Now it seems as if that funtionality is gone. I only have one size of a box
and hope that my words arn't to long other wise they'll get wrapped to the
next line. Any suggestions on how I can change the size of the text box for
the callouts?

Well, that is far more interesting than I thought at first!

A little investigation shows that this is true for all callouts that only
have a single geometry section.
You could open the local Master edit the shape, open the ShapeSheet and
Insert a Geomtery Section. This will add a zero length line, and, hey
presto, the grip (shape handle) returns.
If you do this, then be sure to check Match master by name on drop in the
Master properties.
