Hi All,

Changing the size and spacing (tracking) of text can become very frustrating when working with the mouse, so here's how to adjust things using the keyboard-

Text Size - Select the text you want to change, hold down CTRL + SHIFT (CMD + SHIFT on the Mac) and use < to decrease the size, and > to increase it.

Letter Spacing (Tracking) - If you want to bring the letters that form your text closer together or move them further apart, hold down ALT (OPTION on the Mac) and press the LEFT ARROW key to bring the characters closer together, and the RIGHT ARROW key to spread them further apart.

These shortcuts come in really handy when I'm working with text, hopefully you'll find them helpful too!

Matt
