How do I resize Wordart as a shape, not merely text?

I am trying to use wordart as I did in PowerPoint 2003. I would insert the
WA then I wouls be able to manipulate it by clicking and dragging, just life
a shape, drawing etc. I can no longer find out how to do that...is it still
available as an option?

Are you using PP 2007? It works differently in PP2007, but the same end
effects are still available... just done differently. After you insert the
Use the Text Fill, Text Outline, and Text Effects tools to add additional
dimensions to the WordArt object.

If you choose Text Effects - Transform and apply one of the transforms
shown, the WA object will gain a pink/purple handle that you can then use to
manipulate the shape.
