To resize the text bounding box
Open the menu containing the text block.
1
2 Select either the Vertical or Horizontal Text tool from the toolbox.
Click an insertion point in the text. The text bounding box appears.
3
Note: If you don't see a bounding box, you entered the text freely and must manually change the line breaks.
4 Position the pointer over a selection handle. When it changes to a double-headed arrow, drag the handle to resize
the bounding box. The text reflows within the box.
Resizing a text bounding box with overflowed text
Important: Be sure to use a text tool when resizing the text block. If you drag a bounding box handle using a selection
tool, it scales the text as if it were an object and the text does not reflow.
Selecting and formatting text
Before you can format or change type, you must select it. To change a range of characters, a word, or paragraph within
a text block, you select the text using the Text tool. To change all the characters in the text block, you can select the
text block using one of the selection tools or the Layers panel.
To transform text as you would any other object in the menu, you select the text block with the Selection tool or in
the Layers panel, not with the Text tool. You can drag, scale, rotate, align, and distribute a text block.
You use the Character panel to change the font and other text attributes.
