Bug

Some imported formulas or other OLE objects are unable to resize. But there is a trick (only in Impress and Draw): uncheck lock size and type height and width value on keyboard. (right click on object->Size and place) But there is no way to do it in Writer. Why I'm unable to resize some formulas?
Try to copy formula from my ODT to Impress.

@Raal - can you provide clear instructions on how you were able to do this in 3.5? I just tried and I couldn't but I don't see explicit instructions on how to accomplish this.

What I tried was:

1. Selecting the corner and dragging it to make it larger (broken all the way back to 3.3 so inherited from OOo)
2. Right click -> Object -> the size stuff is all greyed out.

Assistance appreciated.

The OLE object can be resized from the sm Formula by wrapping in a "size ## { }" bracket and setting the # to interger. Or of tweaking the individual formula spacing/sizing elements.

Nothing to do with source of the formula.

Always been that way, and this is a dupe.
