Resize or transform a type bounding box
Display the bounding box handles of paragraph
type. With the Type tool 
active,
select the type layer in the Layers palette, and click
in the text flow in the image.
-
To resize the bounding box, position the pointer over a handle—the pointer turns into a double arrow
—and
drag. Shift-drag to maintain the proportions of the bounding box. -
To rotate the bounding box, position the pointer outside the bounding border—the pointer turns into a curved, two‑sided arrow
—and
drag. Shift-drag to constrain the rotation to 15° increments. To change
the center of rotation, Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag
(Mac OS) the center point to a new location. The center
point can be outside the bounding box. -
To skew the bounding box, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and drag one of the middle handles. The pointer turns into an arrowhead
.
Skewing type using the bounding box
-
To scale the type as you resize the bounding box, Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) a corner handle.
-
To resize the bounding box from the center point, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) a corner handle.
