Q: How can I increase the size of the text boxes in order to fit more text?

I am creating a photo story book in iPhoto. The text boxes that come with some formating are too short in some cases. Is there anyway to increase the size, lenght/width, of these boxes so I can write and fit in more text?

 

Thank you in advance.

    You can "adjust" a photo frame or text box size 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)
