HOW TO USE ADOBE PAGEMAKER 7.0: Resizing Text Blocks

PageMaker allows you to expand and contract text blocks both vertically and horizontally. When you click on a text block with the Pointer tool, small black squares at each corner of the text block (called resize handles) and tabs at the top and bottom of the text block (called windowshade tabs) will appear. Resize handles enable you to resize text blocks both vertically and horizontally. Windowshade tabs enable you to resize text blocks vertically.

1. Click the Pointer button on the Tools Palette.

2. Click the text block you want to resize. You will see the resize handles and windowshade tabs appear.

3. Click a handle or windowshade, hold down the mouse button, and drag the handle.

4. When the text block is the size you want it to be, release the mouse button.
