Jeremy Bohn Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I have a page designed and ready and now I need to create a different size of it for another purpose, basically reduced by about half and tweak where necessary. The problem is that the text is not resizing along with everything else. The text boxes themselves reduce but the text size doesn't change and ruins the layout. In InDesign all I had to do was group the text boxes with everything else, choose 50% and they would scale accordingly. (Can't even pick 50% in Publisher but that's another topic.) Can I do this in Publisher without having the manually redo all the text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Never tried it with complicated pages, but yes it is doable. Go to Spread Setup pick your new page size, click the Scaling tab, select Rescale, click OK.

Jeremy Bohn Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Okay I guess that's a roundabout way of doing it. But there's no way to scale down a text box and the text size to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) The text size is scaled as well. For a test I shrinked the page from A4 to A5 with 14pt text later becoming 9,9pt. Added: Maybe you could upload the file and desired page size in question?

Jeremy Bohn Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yes, I tried the above already and it basically worked but it took more work to get what I needed. It would have been quicker and easier if I could resize everything directly on the page. The problem is there doesn't appear to be a way for the text to resize proportionately when you resize a text box, so maybe Affinity can add in the feature in the future.

carl123 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 If you select all objects on the page then use the special bottom-right adjustment handle then the text should resize proportionally as well (none of the other adjustment handles will do this) Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
