    Hello,

    I’d like to change the shape of a text box, I thought I could by moving the handles, but when I do it scales the text inside, it doesn’t change the typebox shape. Would anyone know how I do this? TIA.

    if the text is already in a text box, just go to edit the text (click it with the text tool, or double click the text layer, etc) then you should see the handles to modify the box.

    The text might have been entered as a headline (click and tyoe), not body text (draw box and type). You might have to copy the text, then draw a text box, then paste the text into the box you just drew.
