Specifying Height and Width

You can specify the height and width of objects. In addition, if the object is a block, you can specify how to handle content overflow. Specify the height and width by choosing any of these options.

Option	Description
Height	Sets the height of the object.
Width	Sets the width of the object.
Content is not clipped	If the contents of the block exceed the height or width of the block, the block automatically resizes to fit the contents.
Content is clipped	If the contents of the block exceed the height or width of the block, the content is clipped. Note: The clipped content still exists. It is just not visible in the block.
Use Scrollbars only when necessary	If the contents of the block exceed the height or width of the block, scrollbars are added to the block.
Always use scrollbars	Scrollbars are added to the block.

Do not use percentages to resize charts and maps that contain interactive elements that are activated when you pause the pointer over them, such as tooltips or drill-through links, because the browser is unable to realign the hard-coded hot spots after an image is resized.

In addition, when you use a percentage to specify the size of an object, the percentage is relative to the object's parent. There are some cases where setting the size of an object using percentages will not give you the results that you want unless you also specify the size of the parent container.

To Change the Height and Width:

Click the object you want.
In the Properties pane, double-click the Size & Overflow property.
Specify the options that you want.
