Your desire to change the size of a
template supplied text box is somewhat more vexing. It appears that, while a
user created text box can easily be added and it's dimensions changed, the same cannot be said for the ones already in the template.
Some suggested work-arounds:
1. Change a multi-column text box to one with fewer columns. That will decrease the number of 'gutters' thus supplying more room for text.
2. Delete a supplied text box ( if possible! ) and create one yourself.
3. Just add a text box and move it anywhere you want. It will most likely move the underlying 'filler' text, but it may be easier than actually deleting the uncooperative, sipplied text box.
4. Get a 'real' page layout program like Microsoft Publisher. It will probably run on a new Intel Mac with either BootCamp and Windows or Parrallels!
The basic problem with text boxes is that they don't automatically increase their size when you add more text than will fit in the current size. It will simply show a little "+" near the bottom corner indicating that what you see is not all that you got! If the text box was created by the user, simply click on it and its 'handles' can be used to change it dimensions. If it is a template supplied text box, you'll need to write Steve and include some autographed paper with several numbers on it ( I hear he like multiples of 1,000 ).
