Text Frames - an Overview

In Pacesetter BES Lettering, you can modify your lettering in a
number of different ways once you have created it. You can
change the overall size of the text, the height, the slant, the
spacing between letters (kerning), and so on.
There are two main methods of changing the size and shape of
a text segment: directly, by clicking and dragging on the outline
handles in the workspace, or indirectly, by changing the
parameters in the Text section of the Properties Panel. The
following sections will show you how to use handles for direct
text manipulation; for more information about how to use the
properties panel, see, "Adjusting Text Properties".
Note that not all of the ways of adjusting the text will apply to all
types of text frames; for example, the Envelope function and
the Envelope handles, only apply to the Normal Text and
Monogram frames only.
Where applicable, the section will list the frame types to which
these handle can apply; if not stated, you can assume that the
handle is present for all frame types.

Adjusting Size of a Text Segment

The size of text items can be adjusted using the Proportional
Sizing Handle. This handle is on the top, left of the design and it
appears as a green arrow, pointing up.
As you drag this handle, you will see the lettering segment
scale proportionally; so, if you increase the size of the segment,
the letters will increase in height by the same degree that they
increase in width.
