Go to Illustrator > Preferences > Type and check the box called “Auto Size New Area Type.” But wait, there’s more! Want to always default to auto-sized area text boxes? Then the fun is all over and you have the solid handles back that indicate an area type box.
This little arrow means that the text box will now automatically size to fit the text you insert or delete.Ī word from the wise: This magic only lasts until you manually resize the text box or until you flow the text. It should now have a tiny little downward-pointing arrow where the handle was previously. Now that your text box is only as large as the text inside it, have a close look at the bottom of the text box. (If this is your goal, go for it, but 99.9% of the time, I’m not seeking to distort my type.) 😉 Bonus!
