Q: ibook format issue

When creating a book, if my text does not fit into the pre-determined text box, what can I do if I do NOT want to edit the text or further reduce the font size?  I want to increase the size of the text box but am not able to do so. thanks.

    You can enlage the text box a little bit with these keystrokes:

    Key Combinations for Adjusting Photos and Text Boxes on an iPhoto Book Page:

     

    Rotate a Photo or a Text Box:

     

    • Shift+Control+Command and the Up/Down Arrow Keys

     

    Move a Photo or Text Box Up, Down, Left or Right:

     

    • Shift+Command and the Up/Down/Left/Right Arrow Keys

     

    Increase/Decrease the Length of a Photo or Text Box:

     

    • Shift+Option and the Up/Down Arrow Keys

     

    NOTE:  the width of a text box is set and widening the box will not widen the text line length inside that box.

     

    See if any of these key combinations can change the text box enought to fit your text.  The other option is to decrease the font size.
