How to change size of text box in photo book

Hello,

I found how to move text box, simply hold down command key and move text box with arrows, but how can I change size of it? There are lot of space on page and I want to fill it with text, but text box size to small and I can not change it.

Moving the text box is the only thing a user can do with it. The size can't be changed. You can create a custom page with the same background and add any sized text area you'd like. This tutorial describes how: 19 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.


These screenshots are rough examples of adding custom text to a page:

Just remembered that one can "adjust" a photo frame or text box size a little on a page with the following key combinations:


Command + Option +⬆arrow: increase frame height.

Command + Option +⬇arrow: decrease frame height.

Command + Option + ➜ arrow: increase frame width.

Command + Option + ⬅ arrow: decrease frame width.


To adjust its position on the page use these key combinations:


Command + Control + ➜ arrow: move frame to right.

Command + Control + ⬅ arrow: move frame to left.

Command + Control + ⬆ arrow: rotate frame counter clockwise.

Command + Control + ⬇ arrow: rotate frame clockwise.


You can conver the standard frame (on the left) to this one (on the right)
