You can define the size of an old-style Popup by adding size tags to the text that contains the cgPopup style.

If you want to define the exact size (in pixels) of the Popup, type the desired dimensions on separate lines (within the cgPopup area) and then apply the Width and Height tags to the numbers.

If you want to set an approximate size for the Popup, use either the Small, Medium, or Big tags. The default size for old-style Popups is small. The Size tags are located in the Size menu of the Wimba Create Tags area. All tags must be inserted on separate lines.
