Fonts changing size


Recommended Posts

I am making a family history book for my mother inlaw and I have a lot of pages full of stories about her ancestors. I pasted the text in the box link to the next page and it ... changes font size? How can I get the fonts to be correct? Sometimes when I look at the font style for my default 12 point it says it is 16.3 or something similar. This is so confusing. Also, I have a font for 12 pt. which is larger than 14 pt. I am SO confused. I need to get this done; mothers day is coming up and well, she is 89. In the example the text is all the default 12 pt... notice the difference?

The usual reason for this happening is that you have accidentally resized the text frame with the outer handle at the bottom right. This will resize the text as well as the frame. The solution is to replace the text frame, and be careful to use the inner handle, if you need to resize it.

It's difficult to be sure if you made the resizing mistake on the first text frame or the second one. Either can cause an issue like this. 

You may need to copy all the text, delete both Text Frames, draw a new one, and paste the text in.

It could be a little more complicated…

Text could be modified when resizing a text frame and that same (altered) text could flow in other text frame so the problem could propagate from text frames to text frames…
