Hi
I'm finding myself keeping a little graphic on the paste board and shift+selecting it with any text I want to CMD+Shift scale. It's clearly silly. You'd be right to scoff and yes it betrays me as both a long time FreeHand user and InDesign user. I think it's the inconsistency of keyboard command across the Adobe suite that's at the root of this silliness. CMD+shift in InDesign allows you to dynamically scale text amd I'm forever doing it and then winding myself with thoughts of "arghh, not in Indesign brain, come on".
Has anyone harmonised Indesign & Illustrator and if so, could you hint to me what you did? Thank you.
Illustrator has point text and area text. The two differ in behaviour. Most probably you've got an area text there. If you want to scale the area and the text, use the scale-tool.
