use the text tool, and click and drag to create a text box of the size you want. you can use either the selection tool (solid black arrow) or the direct selection tool (white arrow) to select the text and resize it once you've created a text box/paragraph.quote:How do I create a paragraph of text?like I said above. I believe aurich might have been thinking of freehand. Should I be resizing with a different tool on the tearoff type tool menu?I'm not sure the type tool does that with illustrator. When it runs, it asks for a percentage to scale the selected text by.Quote:Originally posted by Skyfalcon:The handles/widgets are not shown when I click on the text with the type tool. This works similarly to Transform Each, but will only affect text objects. Select the text objects you want to scale, then drop scale-text.js onto your document to run the script. Paste the following into a plain text file called "scale-text.js". However, if your text has different justification settings, you can use Illustrator's scripting facility to scale text sizes.

The above straightforward solution will work great if the text all has the same justification. For left-justified text you want to select the bottom-left point, bottom-right for right-justified, etc. However you're right to have tried to use Transform Each.Īfter selecting all the text objects to transform (perhaps with the direct selection tool if any of your text is in groups), you can actually set the transformation point of the Transform Each function. As points out, the transformation point is critical for scaling to work the way you expect.
