Chapter 6: Text And Typography
To change the width of a section: Drag one of its sides.
To change the height of a section: Drag the top or bottom border of the section. To
change both dimensions at once, drag a corner of the section.
To adjust the width of columns in a section: Use the Section tool to drag column
guides. The Fixed Widths and Fixed Gutters options in the Column Guides dialog box
limit how sections can be resized. If both options are selected, you can’t drag the sides,
columns, or gutters to resize a section; you can drag the top or bottom to make it longer
or shorter.
