Unlinking Changes to Text and Text Box

I'm trying to increase the width of a text box but not change the size of the text.  When I drag the side of the box, the text enlarges.  When I select the text and increase the slider associated with Text, the box enlarges.  How do I decouple them?  Thanks.

This depends on how you create the text box:

  • If you click the Program Monitor with the text tool and start typing, the text box and its content will be linked.
  • If you click and drag in the Program Monitor with the text tool, and then start typing, the size of the text box and the content will not be linked.
