Unable to resize the object with Selection tool in Illustrator

Participant ,

I'm having an issue with selection tool to resize a text box.  I'm not sure why this is happening because it's never happened before.  When I click on the selection tool, it moves the object but does not resize it.  What's going wrong?

Maybe View > Show Bounding Box?

It looks like you need to select the rectangle shape on the bottom row and convert it to an artboard.

Once that is done, then you should be able to print these as individual pages.

I hope there is a way to get your money back.

I cannot call this a template.

It is one huge artboard with elements that look like pages, (but they are not) with a rectangle behind them to make it look like a dropshadow.

No text, no fonts, all outlined.

Just a single layer.

It would require a lot of work to change the outlined text, to create artboards and set up a workable layer structure.

And the document has un untagged RGB color profile which would require a lot of effort to make it suitable for professional printing.

Thanks Ton.  I was able to follow Meganchi directions and made it work and was able to print it. Thank you Meganchi.

Good to hear that.

But I think that a good template should not make it so difficult to use.
