SELECTION TOOL FAULTY

Illustrator 9.0.2 WinNT4
HELP!
When I draw a shape with the SELECTION TOOL, the normal bounding box
with the re-sizing handles does not appear.
Instead, the shape has the appearance of the Direct Selection Tool and nodes. So, when I draw a shape, I can't re-size it.
Everything else works. It's only the re-sizing handles that have dissapeared.

Thanks

Croicky!

Try [ctrl]+[shift]+[b] (show/hide bounding box)

You're welcome,

Thanks Matt, I had just discovered the same thing and was rushing back onto the forum to cancel my call before anyone got to it.
(Felt like a big dork for not knowing)
I must have just accidentally hit those hot keys with my fat fingers mid-job without noticing.
Cheers
Adrian

No worries mate. I'm pretty fat fingered myself.

It's easy to hit those hot keys "by mistake" - they're the InDesign key combination to bold text.
