I cannot seem to change the text/font size in Acrobat 8.0 Professional when I enter a comment as a text box. I have researched the help and the two methods of changing the size are the touchup text tool via the advanced editing toolbar or right clicking on the text and going to properties. When I highlight the text and right click, the only options I have are text style, which lets me alter bold, italics, underline, superscript, subscript and clear formatting. There is not a properties box to alter the font size. When I highlight the text and then hit advanced editing, touchup text tool, nothing happens. The only way I've found is to type the text in Word, copy and paste into Adobe. There has got to be a better way isn't there? Thanks!

With the text selected (not the text box...this is important) hit Ctrl-E to bring up the text properties. This bit of the interface has always been a problem!
