How can I have the text container automatically fit to the text entered in to it?
For example, if I have a text container with a word like 'dog' in it, I have to use the handles to resize the text container manually. This gets tedious on large numbers of text containers. I'd like to have the text container automatically fit to the word 'dog' after I've finished typing.

Open the shape's shapesheet and:
Resizing shape's width with text: Set cell Width = GUARD(TEXTWIDTH(TheText))
Resizing shape's width with text, but with a minimum size (10mm in this case): Set cell Width = GUARD(MAX(TEXTWIDTH(TheText), 10mm))

1) Open the shape's shapesheet:
