I'm working in Indesign 2 on a Mac and am tring to scale text in a text box by dragging with the selection tool and using cmd+option+shift. I've not been able to do that and have realized that the "scale text attributes" option in my transform pallet is not available (it's grayed out). I've tried different combinations of text boxes and having text selected but that's never available to select. I also tried to trash the preferences but that didn't work either.
Can anyone solve the mystery?
 
I don't know how to solve that problem, but I do know that if you temporarily group the text box with something else (whatever, a little box, a line, etc.) and scale that with the keys, it will scale the text, too.
