Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video Reformatting text and numerical values, part of Illustrator CC 2015 One-on-One: Mastery.
- [Instructor] In this movie, I'll show you how…to modify and format the text associated with a graph…and have those modifications survive larger edits.…And so, for starters here,…notice that our text is really, super huge,…and so I'm going to take down a point size…by clicking on a graph with a Black Arrow tool…and then I'll go up to the Control panel,…notice the text is set in Myriad Pro, which is just fine,…but I want to take the type size value here down to 12 points,…at which point I'll press the Enter key,…or the Return key on a Mac, to apply that change.…
And you can see that Illustrator goes ahead…and updates every line of point type…that's associated with this graph.…All right, now I'll grab my White Arrow tool,…which, again, I can get by pressing the A key,…and I'll click off the graph to deselect it.…And now I want to make my years larger…by Alt clicking once, that's a Option click on a Mac,…and then Alt or Option clicking a second time…in order to select that text.…I'm going to zoom in here.…It's very important that you don't Alt…
