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.
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
What version of iPhoto are you using?
The Option key is also the Alt key:
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:

So, with custom pages, can I add custom text boxes and add photos to the page as well?
Yes. With Pages it's very easy to combine text boxes with photos. With an image editor like those I listed it's also possible but only with a bit more effort.
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)
This is really great advice and exactly what I am trying to do. But it doesn't seem to be working... help please! Also which is the option button?
