Text Frame Width in Illustrator

  • Thread-topic: Text Frame Width in Illustrator

I'm trying to change the width of a text frame in Illustrator via a script.

The script works, except changing the width of the frame distorts the text
inside the frame.

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
  tell document 1
    set width of text frame "thisMonthBox" to 21.5
  end tell
	end tell




For example, if I have the letter "N" in a text frame that's just wider
than the letter, and I run a script to that widens the box, the text
inside the box stretches with the box. Looks like crap and we can't use
it. The text is supposed to be centered in the frame with no distortions.

Any suggestions?
