Rectangle Resize Shape

[slider311]

I created a rectangle that was to large and filled it in with the color white and placed text in the box. I clicked out of the rectangle tool and onto another tool, but now want to decrease the size of the rectangle box. Instead of having to re-draw the rectangle I would just like to make it smaller by re-sizing it.

How can done this best be done.

With the rectangle tool make a new selection on the white square you made previously, this time with the desired dimensions.
Invert the selection Select - Invert (Ctrl + I);
Delete the selection - Edit - Clear (or press the Delete key)
