Font Sizes inconsistent in text boxes

[willernest]

I'm new enough at this to assume I'm doing something wrong rather than reporting a bug.

I'm building a newsletter.  I create various text boxes.  When I go to enter text in order to get the same appearance of text, I'm finding that if, for example, I set font size to 10 pts in one, I may have to set it to 18 pts in another to make things match. The same character style and paragraph style looks to be in use as well.  The result is that I pretty much have to adjust every text box as I go along.

What am I doing right or doing wrong?

Thanks.

You probably scaled the complete text box by dragging the wrong handle. There are two handles bottom right of a text box: The inner one scales the box, the outer one scales the box and its content.

That could well be it.  I'll do some experimenting.

Thanks for the reply.

That was the problem.
