Part of the problem is that the basic InputPalette has the optoin
Editable->False (but this begs the question of how the WindowSize
option for your palette got changed!).
Here's how to fix it
Evaluate
Notebooks[]
and figure out which one is your basicInputPalette.
Then execute
nb=Notebooks[][[inputpal]]
where inputpal is the location in the list of Notebooks[] where the
palette appears.
Then execute
SetOptions[nb, Editable->True,WindowSize -> {Fit, Fit}]
now execute
SetOptions[nb, Editable->False]
And not execute
Export[CurrentValue[nb,"NotebookFullFileName",nb,"NB"]

And the palette should be fixed (I hope!)On Sep 30, 4:01 am, Helen
