Question

Smaller text box around an asterisk?

Here's what I've got. Can't make the box any shorter without the asterisk disappearing...
Can this be adjusted?
thanks

Good suggestions (since an asterisk is a small, offset glyph, a more centered one is probably a good choice). But if the box is invisible, why does the space around it matter? Can't you just position the box so that the glyph is where you want it?

    Good question. It's going into a box that isn't transparent. 🙂

    It... seems like it could be, if all it holds is the asterisk. Even if that's being attached to, say, another text frame that does have a tinted background.

    If what Jeffrey suggested isn't suitable for you, you can convert the sterisk character to outlines, which gives you a precise fit.

      Using a wingding 2 glyph, instead of an asterisk will allow for a tighter fit of frame.
