can I add the size of an object in powerpoint as text in my draw?

[arjan]

Using office 2003-SP3, I'm creating a drawing with lines, boxes etc.
When using a box, you can add text in it. The object itself has a certain
size,
say 2x2 inches. When I want to know the size of that object for sure, I need
to doubleclick on that object and click the tab 'size'.

Is there a way to add the size (height and /or width) to the text in that box,
which gets updated when I change the size??

Look at ProTools add-in at
http://officeone.mvps.org/protools/protools.html - its Shape Properties
toolbar could be of help to you. More information on Shape Properties
toolbar is available at

Just in case you are considering an upgrade to 2007. In this version you can
leave the size / position dialogue open and get "real time updates"
