I used to work in QuarkXPress for years, in that program I could hit 'CTRL-Shift-Alt' + ',' (to shrink text size) or + '.' (to increase text size).
 
I've tried about 20 different hotkey combos and searched as many sites for how to do this and have come up short. Although I did figure out how to size text up and down with my mouse (ctrl-e + turning on some option helped with that), it's driving me nuts to not be able to hotkey this command.
 
Any ideas?

Hi matt222333,

If you are talking about changing the magnification on screen try just Ctrl + or -

Or please explain what you mean by changing the text size? Is it text in comments specifically?

Yeah, I mean after you've drawn a text box with the text box tool. I'm looking for a hotkey that will increase or decrease the size of that text, when I have it highlighted.

Hi matt222333,

No, there is no hotkey for that. Ctrl-D will bring up the Properties toolbar, then you select font size and other properties for the selected text from that.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
