Instruction Manual
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”.
Adjusting Size of a Text Segment
To change the size of a text segment manually, you can use the
Proportional Sizing handle. This is the green arrow located on
the top-left corner of the text frame.
Click and drag on the Proportional Sizing Handle to change the
overall size of the text; up to increase the size, down to
decrease the size. Note that the size of the text changes
proportionally; that is, if you increase the size of the segment,
the letters will increase in height by the same degree that they
increase in width.
Adjusting the Width of Text
If you want to change the width of the text of segment, without
changing the height, use the frame’s Width Handle.
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.
