Seriously, how does this work? Any preferences I need to change? I used to work with CS4 and I recall it was much easier. Well, in that case, how should we paste text? Not everyone working on an Illustrator document is always and forever expected to write all the text manually, is it?

Someone suggested that when I copied and pasted text from a text file into Illustrator, this became an object, not actually text.

Both the arrow-icons, when used to drag the corners of the box, lead to the text getting resized anyway.

Other posts say some nonsense about main selection tool and direct selection tool.

Some posts say I must "show bounding borders".

I presume, as happens in every other sensible tool in the world, the text would flow to the width I give the textbox. So I need to resize it to 1/3rd of the page. The textbox that gets pasted is one huge line that goes from here to Timbuktoo.

Then resize your Artboard: (With everything still selected) go to Object > Artboards > Fit to Artwork Bounds. Ensure that everything under Options is checked. Pasted some copied text into the "artboard" (the clipboard is severely broken, but that's for another day). Method 1: Resize your artwork: (With everything selected) go to Object > Transform > Scale.
