You’ll resize a text frame using the Selection tool. The size of the text characters inside the frame remains unchanged, but when you resize a frame, the text flow will wrap differently or may display more or less text after you change the frame size.
This document includes two layers: Art and Text. You’ll lock the Art layer so that you won’t accidentally select the shapes while you resize the text frames.
- Click the Layers palette tab (or choose Window > Layers if you do not see the Layers palette), and do the following: Click the layer lock box to the left of the Art layer to lock the layer. Using the Selection tool, click to select the text frame on the left page. Notice that the text frame has eight hollow handles and a solid center point.
- Drag the center top handle upward to resize the height of the frame until it snaps to the horizontal guide immediately above the frame (near 22 picas on the vertical ruler). When you release the mouse, text reflows throughout the entire frame.
