text box problem

[Royboy]

All text boxes have locked up in Illustrator CS4. I can't any longer change the shape of an existing text box. When I click on the corner of a text box and drag I merely shift the whole box. What has gone wrong? I've already spent 2 hours trying to sort this out and even expert friends have not come across anything like it! Any suggestions?

Um...try resetting your preferences?

Adobe Illustrator CS4 * About preferences

I don't know much about Illustrator but that usually fixes weird random problems in Photoshop.

I don't know much about Illustrator either, but there is always an idea to look in the Biorust forums:

Might not be exactly the same problem, but then of course there is always Google!

You probably inadvertently hit the shortcut at some point.
