Resizing text boxes?

[imacken]

I have a A4 document including some text boxes, that I want to reduce to A5 and put 2 of them on an A4 sheet.

Wen I used Illustrator, I would just select-all, copy and past into the new document.  Then I would just resize the selected objects with one of the handles, duplicate it and I would have what I wanted.

When I try this in AD, the text boxes all retain the original size of text and it makes this exercise almost impossible!

Presumably, there must be a way of doing this.

Can anyone help? Quickly? Haha!

EDIT: It's OK, I've just noticed the grab at the bottom right!

Well, I'm glad you posted this question because I was having the same problem. Love it when the solution is that simple.

It is - no?

I also had this problem recently, and was delighted to find the bottom right grab point! An elegant solution, most intuitive - once you finally realise it's there.
