Caroline L Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi, I have searched hi and low, I've looked in the help section and on youtube and I can't find something that I hope is so easy, it's just something I'm missing... Is there there some sort of slider bar for text size, to increase/decrease by 1 point increments like there was in Drawplus? On straight text it's not an issue - I just click and drag, but I need it for text on a path. I often spend a lot of time going up and down, and adjusting to get it just right, but I can't find a way to easily do that without lots of clicks.

G13RL Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi @Caroline L, There is no slider but you can click in the "Font Size" window of the context bar and use the mouse wheel to increase/decrease in 1 pt increments. jmwellborn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I'll need to invest in a different mouse because mine really doesn't work for this, but it's the answer so thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 On Windows (don’t know about OS X), you don’t need to click in the font size field to be able to use the mouse-wheel-scroll to change the font size, just hover the mouse pointer over the font size field and use the scroll action. You can also, while using the scroll-wheel, use SHIFT to increment/decrement by 10 (instead of 1) or CTRL to increment/decrement by 0.1. However, if you do click in the font size field to ‘activate’ it then you can use the keyboard up/down arrow keys – with a SHIFT or CTRL modifier if necessary – to change the value. These actions should work on any numeric input field, not just font size. Caroline L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have a play around to work out the best method for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BofG Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Up/Down arrow keys on the keyboard also work if you don't have a scroll wheel (trackball user here :) ) Caroline L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
