Is it possible to scale a text box by % but also transform the contents?

Is it possible to scale a text box by % but also transform the contents?
Object > Transform > Scale only transforms the box.
Grabbing and dragging a corner while holding shift/ctrl is not accurate enough.
Thanks

Object > Transform > Scale only transforms the box.
Object -> Transform -> Scale of 200% when applied to a text frame full of text works here: frame doubles in size, text doubles in font size.  (CS5.5. and CS6 on Win7)  It works on images, too.
In fact, I almost can't reproduce the behavior you report at all. The exception is this: If in CS5.5. I fill a frame with text, and then select the frame with the Direct Select tool (the white arrow) and use Object -> Transform -> Scale, then just the frame changes in size, and the text doesn't change. When you select the frame, which selection tool are you using?

  • Is it possible to add a text box to an image in Aperture?

    is it possible to add a text box/caption to an image in Aperture? (I do NOT have photoshop)

    Do you want to write it directly onto the image? Then install and use the free BorderFX plug-in for Aperture. It will let you write text annotations directly onto the image or onto a border.

    This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

    Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
    From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

  • Is it possible to make a text box cycle/rotate through text, like a slide show does?

    Is it possible to make a text box cycle through 3 or 4 separate pieces/groups of text, like a slide show does with photos? So that when I open my site a text area says "Statement 1", then 10 seconds later it changes to "Statement 2", then 10 seconds later it chagnes to "Statement 3", etc.
    Its that possible with a text box? My desire is to have 3 or 4 testimonials that change every 10 seconds.
    You can see that right now it's a single testimonial:

    Right.  Some plugins have zip file downloads while others are just copy & paste.
    In DW, go to File > New > Blank page > JavaScript.
    Copy & paste the Cycle plugin code into your new JS page. 
    SaveAs   cycle.2.9.81.js  in whichever site folder you normally keep scripts.
    Link your HTML page to your new cycle script:
    Insert > Script > Script (browse to folder containing your cycle script). Hit OK.
    Don't forget to add a link to the jQuery core library, too.  Plugins don't work without it.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the Location Bar?

    I can use Alt+D to get to the Location Bar to type in a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page has been opened, by using a short-cut key? I didn't recognize any of the commands in the Shortcut Keys page as being what I want.

    This was helpful, but didn't really answer the question. Pressing Tab when I"m on the google Location Bar takes me to the search text box, which is what my motivation for writing the question was, but I notice that on many pages, it doesn't work. This page, for instance.
    I went to the about:config page and changed the <b>accessibility:tabfocus</b> from 1 (tab through every element) to 5 (only tab to the text boxes and links) but it seems to still tab through every element.

  • Overset text will not go into the text box that is part of the master for the next page

    I am trying to (first time user) set up a simple trade-paperback sized book with some photos.  Have set up several masters for chapter title pages, chapter inner pages, etc.  When I copy text out of Word into InDesign, (copy/paste) the text overset box appears.  I load it, then go to the next page, which I have already formatted using one of the masters.  But when I select the desired text box ((Ctrl/shft) and click, the overset text forms a new text box, What am I doing wrong? thanks

    I have done, this did work right for at least the left side of the spread, but never for the right side -
    Make sure the left and right page master page text frames are threaded View>Extras>Show Text Threads. Here I have left and right page text boxes threaded on my A-master spread:
    Checking Smart Text Reflow can make adding long text to master frames easier:
    With Smart Text Reflow enabled I've released the  master page text box on page 1, note the released frame has a solid border, while the unreleased master page frames on subsequent pages are dotted indicating they are still master page items and not page items.
    The result of the paste:

  • How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

    How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

    There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available:  Text (plain) and Paragraph.  (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
    If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
    double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
    Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
    So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

  • I'm having problem with text boxes.  Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line.  Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

    You are absolutely right.  Thought Enter meant Enter.  I was wrong.  Thank you for the help.

  • How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

    how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
    Without free hand creating the sizing?

    Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

    How to scroll in a text box so you can see the full text

    Hello treboh3,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not very clear to me what the issue is that you're experiencing, but if you just want to scroll a text cursor through your text, then follow the directions below.
    Revise text. Touch and hold the text to show the magnifying glass, then drag to position the insertion point.

    I have an image that I removed from its back ground and I would like to scale the bottom portion of the image because its to wide but not have that effect the top portion of the image which is the correct width. but also keep the aspect ratio correct, keep it looking as natural as possible (its a piece of jewlery) ? how can I begin to do this.

    The area circled in red is to wide (the width) the necklace's width is as wide as the models entire chest. And also the length of the necklace it's to long it should come down to the clevage area on the model/woman.

    "Text" - you mean iMessage?  If you receive a copy it means your phone is using the same Apple ID address as the one you're sending to:

  • Is it possible to have a text box in front of a widget?

    I have my layout ready on iBooks Author. Every widget was sent to back of each page (Send to Back). Some have text boxes on top of them (Bring to Front). Everything looks perfect.
    When I open the iBook on an ipad, all widgets are at the front of the pages, and all text boxes are covered by the widgets, were superposition occurs.
    I want my text to be on top at all times, just like its shown by the iBooks Author interface.
    One last thing, if I open the iBook on the ipad, the table of contents thumbnails shows everything like its supposed to be. Its the pages themselves that are all wrong, with unreadable text caused by the widgets, as described above.
    Which makes me thing this is clearly a bug.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance

    You can't? Just to give you some context, I work as a graphic designer, I'm creating for the first time an iBook for a client and I have quite a few examples already.
    A couple of vague examples:
    - Imagine a diagonal animation from the bottom left corner to the top right corner of the page. I could do this with keynote or html, for example. Now imagine you want some text floating at the top left and bottom right corner.
    I wont get into details, but the fact the animation is "cutting" through the text is very much relevant to the context.
    - A page with a bold white title, a strong photographic lowkey background and some kind of interaction of top of it.
    - A page with a keynote widget occupying almost the entire area, and a title in text format (that would superpose with they keynote but not with its graphics)
    - etc etc
    These are all impossible scenarios.
    The actual interaction with text/images and interactive elements is nonexistent.
    But I understand now that the interactive bits of the book must be separated from the other content - its context -which is a shame. And I understand it's not a bug, from what you say. The iBA interface shows the book like a PFD export, in a way, as well as the thumbnails at the Table of Contents, were all the text is visible. The actual pages have a different behaviour.
    Thank you very much for the fast feedback. I will use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu, as suggested.
