Question
I have created 25 text frames but need to resize them to all the same height and width.
After selecting all text frames and adjusting width and height the text frames seem to shrink.
Is there a way of resizing the text frames?
Hi John,
The reason the boxes seem to shrink is because when you have all of them selected at once, Indesign sees this group as one large object. So when you change its size you are changing the size of the entire group as though it were one box.
Change one of your text boxes individually, then select the remaining boxes and use the Transform Sequence Again Individually command under the Object -> Transform Again menu.
That will change all the selected boxes to the dimensions that you just applied to the first box.
Thanks,
Ken Black
