Resize text box without affecting text size

Hello,

 

Something changed with PS? Because I cannot resize the text box without automatically resizing the text size inside of it.

 

I want my text size to be 10. But when I resize the text box, the text inside of it automatically adjusts to 14 or more.

 

Why did you make it so cumbersome? 😞

Assuming you are using paragraph text, i.e you used the Type tool to drag out a box and typed within it, then you can resize the text box with the Type tool active, not the Move tool. You should be able to drag the box handles independently of the text size.

Yea sounds like you might not be familiar with the two different modes of text boxes / text layers:

  • Point Text mode: Like you're describing currently happening, the text box resizes the text within it as you resize
  • Paragraph Text mode: The text size is independent of the text box bounds

 

You can convert between the modes for a text layer by right clicking that text layer in the layer panel, and clicking either "Convert to Point Text" or "Convert to Paragraph Text". In your case it seems you would want to convert to paragraph text.
