    How can I change the size of the pointer of the mouse for my product

    If it can be changed, the controls will be in the start menu / Control Panel / mouse.  It is not possible with all brands of mice.  Perhaps a different drawing will be have more big pointers - see the different options.  If the option is not listed or those listed do not help, go to the website of manugacturer of the device and download the most recent driiver for your mouse and your version of Vista and install it (Start/Control / Panel / Device Manager) and see what provides all premanente options that weren't there before and can adjust the size.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How can I change the size of a region/area of text?

    Hi-

    I've not played with Illustrator since v6 around.  Now, I have CS5/OSX and is so different that I have to ask questions about the basics.

    I want a text to fit in a specific area, so I drag with the text tool to make a box the width, I need.  I type in my text and find now that the box is too large.  It's okay if I want to narrower or shorter - how can I change the size and shape?

    I tried the Selection tool (black arrow), the direct Selection (white arrow) tool and the text tool.  All I managed to do moves the area around available.

    I tried the free transformation and liquidation tool to distort the text.

    It's a simple thing.  I don't know that I used to be able to do it in Illustrator 6.  Please tell me how to change the size of a text box.  I guess this will have an impact on the way in which the text will wrap.

    Help TIA

    JL

    Use the direct Selection and Shift-drag a side.

  • How can I change the size of text and background color?

    How can I change the size of text and background color? When I select the text box and change the height, nothing happens. If I drag the box is smaller, it just jumps back to where she was. If I try to change the color, (which is set to 'default' gray), no color, it still shows as white on preview. Because I can not change the size of text box, I need to at least make the clear background because it's something that overlap.

    Answered my own question kind of... I had to go into the 'code' and change the settings manually. Why even have the options in 'view designer' to change the size of text box or color if it doesn't?
