Scaling objects—what can be different here from resizing? Once more, it's on Text Frames that the difference is more evident. Compare the results you can get:

The difference is simple: in the top example the content has been scaled with the frame, and in the second only the frame is scaled. So it's scaling the content. You can scale a Text Frame (with its consent) by pressing the Alt key while resizing with the mouse. The Alt key applies, as always, while the mouse is pressed during the resizing movement.

So did you see something missing in our card?
