How do i resize a text box?

Trying to resize a text box, but the up/ down/ diagonal arrows won't move to resize!  How do I edit that please?

You can also fine tune the Text Box (or Shape) size using the Arrange tab and Size section. Notice the constrain proportions checkbox.
Otherwise, what Peter said, and if you press the shift key while clicking on that lower-right Text Box grip, you will see a diagonal, yellow dotted line that serves as a proportional drag guide to scale the box.

  • Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

    Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
    I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
    It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
    I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

  • How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

    Hi,
    Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
    VBox {
    translateX: 10
    translateY: 10
    spacing: 20
    content: [
    Label {
    text: "TextBox:"
    TextBox {
    layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
    ] //contents
    //VBox
    now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
    Regards,
    Kibu

    Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
    Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
    layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.

  • How do I Expand the Text Box in Mail Stationery?

    I have a question about using stationery in Mail. Is there anything I can do to make the text box in certain templates to hold more content? It seems that, in some templates (like Bamboo, for example), the text box expands automatically as more content is keyed in. Yet, in the Tack Board template, for example, the text box does not expand beyond what seems to be a fixed length for content. How can I get the text box in Tack Board to expand for additional content?

    Please check text input state defined , also if the form is inserted in any container then try to test out the form with different text input boxes in a new page.
    Additionally , check the mid-hieght of text inserted in frame.
    Thanks,

  • How do I add a text box to an ibook?

    How do I add a text box to an ibook page?

    Not very user-friendly IMHO, but ok here goes:
    Place a picture of the band in your body background's CSS
    with repeat:
    no-repeat. Then add a scrolling division to your html page -
    like so:
    <div align="right">
    <div style="font-family:'Verdana', 'Arial', 'Sans-serif';
    font-size:12px;
    color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left; background-color:#000000;
    border:2px solid;
    overflow: auto; padding:10px; width:auto; height:200px;
    border-color:
    #333333;"><h3>Your heading goes
    here</h3><br><br> More text goes
    here<br><br> and more text goes
    here...</div>
    <p> </p>
    <div style="font-family:'Verdana', 'Arial', 'Sans-serif';
    font-size:12px;
    color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left; background-color:#000000;
    border:2px solid;
    overflow: auto; padding:10px; width:auto; height:200px;
    border-color:
    #333333;"><h3>Your heading goes
    here</h3><br><br> More text goes
    here<br><br> and more text goes
    here...</div>

  • How do I turn off text box in pages?

    how do I turn off text box in pages?

    Thank you Peter and Jerry.
    Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
    In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
    It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me.  Does anyone know how to do this?
    Best, Angela

  • Is there a way to automatically resize the text box to fit the text inside, without using the selection tool to resize the corners in Illustrator and Photoshop?

    I'm wondering if there is a way where I can quickly resize a text box to fit exactly around the text inside, so pretty much the smallest the text box can go without being too small to fit the text? I know you can do this manually with the selection tool, but is there a button/command that automatically does this in one go?
    Thanks

    Try this script. Save the page as .jsx the the "Presets>Scripts" AI folder. When you restart AI it will appear in the "Scripts" menu. Select the text block and run the script.
    Thanks to Nathaniel Vaughn KELSO for the script.

  • How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design

    How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design? I mean is there any indication, where I will come to know so an so tex boxes are linked together?
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Peter,
    well In Quark Express as as wrote earlier, that you can see other text frames highlighted immediately, after you select any of the text frame among the threaded text frames, say there are 5 text frames which are threaded together, even if I click on 2 nd or say 4th text frame, it shows me all the text frames highlighted which are threaded together, so If I am working in a catalog which has multiple pages, it's easy for me to see which text frames are threaded together, as if you make any text changes, say add or delete text in a text frame, the other text frames get affected by that. I mean text shifts accordingly, it's easy to track in Quark which text frames will get affected if I change something in a threaded frame.
    Anyways, it seems this option is not available in In Design. That's fine. I am not in preview or Overprint previed mode.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to remove white bounding text box

    Hi,
    I'm a multimedia student and need to create a portfolio in Director and would like to know how to remove the white text box when writing text content? I already have a background and would like to have plain black or white writing on the bakground, do not want the white bounding box. How do I remove that?
    Thanks

    It really depends upon what kind of text member you used, but in general, you would select the sprite on the stage, then go to the Sprite tab of the Property Inspector.  Find the Ink setting and change it to Matte or Background Transparent.

    You mean, permanently? No way with the free Reader. And changes of this sort are usually done best in the original program (the one used to produce the PDF file). PDF files have never been meant for extensive editing.

    Since there is no record in the table, screen is displying only the lable. not displying the Input text box.? Any property is there to enable?.
    One more case i tried by using dual (eg Select '0' as name from dual) created one view object and dragged in the JSF screen as input combo box with list of values.
    In this case also it is not displaying the combo box.Just displaying the Lable name and 0 only.

    The short answer is No. But I see that Ray has given you an option.

  • How do you link 2 text boxes in new pages

    How do you link two text boxes in the new pages.  The old one was much easier to use.

    I think this is impossible! Ive been trying today and I couldnt do it. Then I opened up an old document that had text linking in it and I got a message telling me that the text boxes were now unlinked!  Why would you remove that? For me this software is now useless. How on earth do I get my old version back?
