I have some text with the option for a box around it turned on. Aesthetically speaking, for me, the box is way too big. Is there any way to adjust this?

Unfortunately no. Best is to draw a separate box to get the size you want. You can then make it a symbol, set them on their own layer, or building option, or group them to keep them together should you need to control it to that level.

Sometimes alternate fonts fit the boxes better/cleaner. Try changing to a different font and see how that works.

Mark & Keith,

Thanks for your comments. Not really the answers I was hoping for but definitely worth thinking about.

If your cursor is below your note when you check "box", the box gets tall.  If you move your cursor up and to the end of the note, its more in proportion to the note.

I can't make the box change whatever I do. Please explain that further ...

 

If you copy a note multiple times, can you change the box shape on ANY note?
