Can't Resize MS Project window in Visio

[Dale]

..Hi:
I'm running Visio 2003.
Say that I open up Visio (fresh) and create a new (blank) document.
Then, I go under the Insert menu, select Object, and the select
Microsoft Project Document from the scrollable list. A box opens,
I navigate to the Projcet file that I want to insert and select for it
to create new copy within the Visio dpcument workspace.
Visio loads the Project (.mpp) file onto the Visio workspace.
Its borders have the green resize squares showing. I double-click
the Project document: it opens so that I can edit it. Now, I want
to resize the window so that a much larger area of the Project's file
is being displayed. It doesn't let me. Once I reach a certain size
(width or height) the doument box / borders snap back to a default
size. If I right-click on the doument (when the green resize handles
are showing) and select Format>Behavior>the Double-clcik Tab>
select Open Shape's Shapesheet., I can check the size of this box >
This displays a box width & height, each = 12.5937". This value does
not seem to be editable. If I try to change it, it reverts back to this
default value.

How can I stretch the Project file's box in Viso, so that I can show as much
of that file's data as I want, and not be limited by a window's size ?

Thanx
Dale

Hi Dale,

Is the inability to resize an inserted object in Visio only occurring
with a Project object -- can you resize an Excel object past a certain
size? If not, this may be more of a limitation in Visio, not Project,
and you may have better success reposting your question to a Visio
newsgroup.

Hi:
Thanx for your input.
No...I can rezise say, a Word or PowerPoint document.
I have this problem posted on a Visio newsgroup too.

Hi Dale,

You're welcome for what little input I have provided thus far.
Unfortunately, I am not too familiar with Visio, so I cannot address
your question directly. Good to know you've posted to the Visio ng,
perhaps between that ng and this one, someone will be able to help out.
