Gail, Question: have you turned the text into outlines? When you turn text into shapes it makes scaling much easier - and actaully the only what I know to scale text. Good luck.

I could be wrong. If it's just an object or two, you'll need to reset the text wrap. The way around this would be to leave the Illustrator file as is - do not scale anything. The make a scaled down PDF. Go to PRINT, and SAVE AS PDF. Then set the percent you want to reduce the size to. Then everything should be scaled and it's easy peasy.

One element has a text wrap around a photo. When I tried to copy all and reduce the size to send a proof to my client, the text wrap margin stayed large and threw off the text flow. > > What causes this and how do I fix it? > > thanks, > Gail > > who is on a Mac, if that helps. > > > -- > Gail Guth > Guth Illustration & Design > 139 Lathrop Avenue > Battle Creek, MI 49014-5076 > 269-963-1311 > [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.guthillustration.com&d=DwIFAg&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=AGYZ7-AeerjxzYnIwL-lBLFI3SPYN3BDmku4qGQB4Tg&m=r7kac62cYiGpYS2Q79gHkA0jp166NG0IHZNB6IgfdeA&s=3qtwX8pVXLL74AZlDPGPniAQRYsPN6BAL7Lp7teJi8Y&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.guthillustration.com_&d=DwMFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=AGYZ7-AeerjxzYnIwL-lBLFI3SPYN3BDmku4qGQB4Tg&m=l0jkT6bPS-BzKaeJjkf-CHsE0MFR22fRXFNkYzdkXv0&s=LRFTQ52sDpkh2zEomp71crg2hgy-7Nk4grGsj_MNGUk&e=> > > ________________________________________________ > > Need to leave or subscribe to the Sciart-L listserv?
