  • 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.
