Any way to change the window size in Free Distort tool?

The little window that opens up when you selected the Effect -- Distort & Transform -- Free Distort tool is so small I can't get it to do what I want it to do.  The minimum amount of distortion is about twice as much as what I'm trying to achieve.  The anchor points are magnetic, and they either snap to the undistorted corners of the object bounding box, or else they snap outward to a degree that's much more than I'm trying to do.  Here's what it looks like.
Any assistance greatly appreciated!

I don't know how to change the size of the free distort dialog. However, for your particular transformation, you could draw a rectangle that covers your type, distort it using the free transform tool (or any number of other tools), and perform an envelope distort with top object.
The resulting "live" object will be editable to the extent that you can modify the envelope shape after the distortion is applied (and have the text conform). However, the text itself will not be "live" (editable) as it would be with the free distort effect.

  • Is there any way to change the document size from scene to scene?

    I'm building a portfolio site, but I need the document size to be different from each scene.  I'd rather not create a separate swf/html file for each page since that would disrupt the transition between scenes (not to mention all the wok I went through to get the dropdown menus working).
    For instance, the "home" scene is structured for 1200x670 px, but the portfolio scene labeled "published" needs to be at 1200x1500px.
    Is there any way to change the document size from scene to scene?  OR; If, for instance, I made the universal document size 1200x1500 for the entire flash file, is there a script that would restrict the "home" scene to only show the first 670 pixels?

    not in flash alone.

  • Is there any way to change the font size of the text in the Finder Sidebar?

    This may sound like a bit of a dorky question but here goes nothing...
    I am rather near-sighted and in need of new glasses but I am stuck in a holding pattern until I can get a referral to see my eye doctor. Anyway... I have found myself using the Zoom features far more often and increasing the font size in the Finder for the Item Names & Info.
    The problem that I am facing now, is that the font size of the text in the sidebar is FAR SMALLER than the font size of the text of the actual file names & info.
    +*IS THERE ANY WAY TO INCREASE THE FONT SIZE OF THE TEXT IN THE SIDEBAR??*+
    So far I have looked in:
    *The Finder Preferences
    *The Desktop Preference Pane
    *The Appearance Preference Pane
    *The Seeing Tab of the Universal Access Preference Pane
    And to add to my frustration I have also searched the Mac OS X Help AND all of the posts in this thread (back to 1/1/09) that had the word "sidebar" mentioned in them!!
    +*DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?? OR IS THIS ONE AREA THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE APPLE DIDN'T FORESEE THIS ISSUE??*+
    Usually, Apple is really very good about foreseeing any possible trouble (ESPECIALLY when it comes to the area of Accessibility for people w/ disabilities!!)
    I do hope that SOMEBODY can help me on this one!!
    Also, I noticed that the size of the text that is on the Toolbar is also the same ITSY BITSY font size as the text on the sidebar, but I am guessing that there is next to nothing that can be done about that!!
    Thanks a Million!!

    P.S. Here is the link to a screenshot that I took that will illustrate my problem more clearly...

  • Is there any way to change the text size in pdf documents

    Is it possible to change the font size and line spacing in Adobe Acrobat without zooming the whole page. Any help with that

    Text size with the Text Touchup Tool. Line spacing is a NO. What you want to do does not fall into the category of what PDFs are created to do. If you are just doing it for screen reading, use the zoom.

    if u tap that it will take you to the normal tab

  • Is there a way to change the Windows Update service startup type on Windows Server 2012 R2?

    We have a number of newly built 2012 R2 servers that we have HP Operations Manager agent running on that monitors the status of several services and reports if they are "stopped". One of these services is Windows Update. Every day we
    get at least one alert saying:
    "Service "Windows Update" is not started. Current state is stopped"
    Checking the event logs shows that the Windows Update service stops, then a while later it just starts again. Not an error, just an information event.
    In Windows 2012 R2 the Windows Update service is set to "Automatic (Trigger Start)", where in previous versions we run (2012/2008R2) it would be set to just "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
    I have come to understand that this behaviour is normal for Windows 2012 R2, and that Trigger Start services by design stop themselves after a period of inactivity. I was unable to find any info on how this works. Our client would like this to
    be changed and the Windows Update service stay running all the time, understanding that this impacts performance.
    Is there a way to change the Windows Update service in Server 2012 R2 to the old Automatic startup behaviour so that it stays running all the time instead of stopping and starting periodicall? There is no option to do this via the services mmc
    gui.
    So far I have tried:
    Removing the Triggers using the command: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
    This works temporarily, the service then shows as just Automatic in the services console, however if you restart the server or restart the service it goes right back to being Automatic (Trigger Start).
    Any kind of help would be appreciated.

    This one might help.

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

  • HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
    How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

    I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.

  • Any way to change the order of the items in the Files Inspector? DW CS4

    Hi,
    I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 with my menus split virtically.
    Is there any way to change the order of the items in the Files Inspector?
    Specifially I'd like to have them in this order:
    | Local/Remote Files | Modified | Size | Type |
    The reason being that next to the 'Local Files' the 'Modified' column is most impotant for putting updated files/images, and in split vertical mode I have to scroll right to see the 'Modified' column.
    Is this a feature request?
    Rich

    Is there any way to change the order of the items in the Files Inspector?
    Yes, but it must be done on a site-by-site basis.
    In the Site Definition dialog box, select File View Columns. You can control the position and display of columns there. The only one that can't be changed is Name.

  • Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

    Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2?  It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar.  Thanks

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

    Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus.

    In short, no. There is no fix yet. They only barely acknowledge there is a problem. The "fix" is to enable 200% UI scaling which makes everything comically huge and unusable. This is pretty much of a joke. A really, really EXPENSIVE joke.

    Is there any way to make the page size of a PDF document smaller?  I'm at 30"x36" and want 8.5"x11"

    The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.
