  Scaling text in Illustrator

  Posted by Ace Billet on November 30, 2005 at 8:47 am

  Sometimes when I make a text block in Illust., I can scale the text
  by pulling the corner handles.
  Other times, just the text box grows but the text remains the same.

  I noticed there is another square on the text box frame when I can scale it,
  but can’t seem to find a way to bring it on command.

  any ideas on how to scale the text by scaling the text box ?

  cheers

  If you click and drag to form the boundaries of your text box, you will not be able to scale the text by dragging the corners.

  To scale:
  Click with the text tool once and then begin to type. Select the move tool. Reselect the text box and now you’ll be able to scale the text.
