- Increase the size of the word SPACE! With the type tool, tri-
ple-click the word SPACE! to select both it and its exclamation
point. Press Ctrl+Shift+ (�-Shift- ) to increase the type size
incrementally until the width of the selected text matches that
of the text above it. (To resize
faster, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+
or �-Shift-Option- .) Or
just click the icon and
change the type size value to
88 points, as in Figure 11-59. - Increase the vertical scale of all characters. One of the by-
products of warping is that it stretches or squishes characters,
thus requiring you to scale them back to more visually appeal-
ing proportions. In our case, the text is really squished, so some
vertical scaling is in order. Press Ctrl+A (or �-A) to select all
type on the active layer. In the Character panel, click the
icon to select the vertical scale value, which I’ve highlighted in
Figure 11-60. Enter 167 per-
cent to make the letters taller
but not wider, and then press
the Enter or Return key. The
text should remain active.
