Unable to rezise any object or text box

[Guest]

I'm unable to resize any objects or text box in any document. I'm using Illustrator CS3. Bounding box and edge are already turned on. Could anyone help me please?

I have the latest version of illustrator, and i can't seem to scale an object using the black arrow, selecting an anchor point and dragging! It won't allow me to resize Ive tried everything... you use to be able to scale without having to go into object-transform-scale-etc. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks

Please read the thread you're posting in. The answer has been given a few times.

I actually just figured it out from some help from above comments...

FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO's PROBLEM WASN'T SOLVED WITH

Contro+Shift+B

TRY INSTEAD
Contro+Shift+H

This shows and hides the artboard. Which resizing problem exactly do you want to solve with it?

Actually it could also be because one of your objects are not expanded.

Select each object and go to "Object" > Expand Appearance.

Resizing worked for me after this!

Not in 2009 and not now.

Expanding your objects should never be necessary in order to be able to scale them.

On top of that it's a bad idea,because making changes will be rather painful afterwards.

worked fine for me, though

Thank you, this worked for me.

The bounding box solution did not work for me, but the "Expand" command did. 

I hope that helps someone.
