One of my big gripes with Prezi has been the seeming "wonkiness" of the resizing tool which you use to make text or shapes larger/smaller. It never worked very well for me, and there was no rhyme or reason to whether a selected object would grow larger, smaller, or just sit there and vibrate!
I would sit there and drag in frustrated circles, generally achieving nothing.
Well, ahem. Today I accidentally grabbed an object, and instead of making my usual circle (following the shape of the tool), I just dragged it straight to the left and--miracle!--it grew seamlessly larger. Dragging to the right, it grew smaller.
The perils of rigid thinking, but just look at that tool! Doesn't it imply "drag in a circle?" : )
I tried Prezi after you started blogging about it and I thought the same thing! I was so frustrated that it would just sit there and vibrate while I was trying to re-size it. Who would have thought to just go straight-thanks for letting us know:)
