Cant resize form fields

I have Acrobat 8 Pro and choose to add a field, whether text or buttons and cannot choose the "Size" option. I right click on the field and choose Size and height and width and any other option there is greyed out.

I want to make all fields that I have already created a little taller, as the letters get cut off at the bottom, like with a "p" or a "g", and I would rather not resize them one by one, as I would like them all to be exactly the same height.

Anyone have any idea why this is grayed out? Even if I start a new form, it is the same way.

Try this:

1. Select one of the fields, and make it the height you want by dragging the border.

2. Then select ALL of the fields, including the one that you just fixed; where you want to change the height.

3. Then, put your cursor on the "fixed" field, and select size> height. Once you have selected more than one field; those options should be available to you. And then, Acrobat will make all of the fields the same height.Hope this helps....

Acrobat is probably the program I use most often and I'm learning more every day.
