Changing the size of a text item

With Point Text and Line Text items, you can change their point height property, Height (pts) in the Properties of Text or Properties of LineText dialogs respectively.

With Label Text and Box Text items there are two options:

• change their Character Height property at the All tab of the Properties of Label or Properties of BoxText respectively.
  
• select the text item, then click and drag one of the handles on the box around the text (except the alignment point), holding down the CTRL key as you do so.
