I'm assuming because of the rounded features of a elliptical the height/width aren't available options. Anyway you can click and drag to make the shape to your needs, then go to SELECT / TRANSFORM SELECTION, now you can enter sizes or drag boarders to change the shape.
Hope it helps,

On the Option bar, change style from Normal to Fixed.
