Both interesting tips. Thanks for that, guys! But I am explicitly thinking about the paragraph text. So resize the frame that is created at the beginning of the paragraph text. Maybe its possible with extend script?

Detlef, it should be possible with extendscript – the question is why/when you want to modify its size?

[Andrei Popa]

I think you can use this function.

function setBoxSize(myLayer, boxSize){
    var textProp = myLayer("ADBE Text Properties")("ADBE Text Document");
    var textDoc = textProp;
    textDoc.boxTextSize = boxSize;
    textProp.setValue(textDoc)
}
