 * There used to be a simple way to lengthen the text box into which posts are written;
   I thought it was under the Settings | Writing area, but now I cannot find it.
   Since this last update that text box for entering or editing posts is barely 
   20 lines or so, and I cannot find how to restore my text box so it fills most
   of the window — I use pictures and need to see the text above and below the pictures
   as I edit the post or page.

 * There is a button in the post editor above the text editing box which makes the
   editor full screen.
    Also many browsers allow you to just drag the bottom corner
   of a text editing box and make it as big as you like.

 * I tried the editor full screen mode, but then couldn’t find the formatting buttons
   that I require.
 * I did try dragging the corner of the box to lengthen and that did, in fact, work.
   It used to be a hard setting in Word Press, so this was a new option for me. 
   It serves my purpose while keeping the formatting options visible. So, thank 
   you.
