Default How to change the height of a rectangle which represents a UML cla

I am drawing a UML class diagram using MS Visio 2003. For some reason, I'd
like to change the height of a class, but by no means I can do it. Do you
have any idea about this?


The Class shape gets its height from the sum of the individual
sections. These sections set their heights from the text contents of
each section so as more text is added the section gets larger.
So, a. add text to the 2 sections of the class, or
b. edit the shape's shapesheet to make the shape have a specific
height instead of a formula, or
c. Use 3rd party UML shapes.


Another problem is that I'd also like to ajust position of some texts in the
class diagram such as association name, and association ends name.


The position of these names appears to be positioned by a control
point, but they appear to be locked and invisible.
