Smart Shapes, Text Panels - A way to adjust the margins around the text and the panel

[jclements]

I haven't found a way to adjust the margins between the text its bounding panel. I tried using the shape-editor to move the corner points of the backpanel but that doesn't work.

Being able to have a way to adjust the margins could eliminate or reduce the need for manually creating "stretchy" rectangles via the Naming method.

If "Stetchy" objects are used much in a document, it can make the listings in the Name Gallery enormous.

Right-Click>>Open Smartshape.
Adjust shape size or text colum size. Save.

Just don't try adjusting it again in the document

I see that adjusting a second time can reset the margins back to its default spacing

Like I already said, don't try adjusting it again in the document.
If you want to adjust again, Open the Smartshape as before.
