How do you change the size of existing text?

I've figured out how to change the "Text Block #" (size) of new text I type by going through Setup > Design Parameter > Text tab > Parameter Block, but how do you change the size of text that already exists? Or do you have to delete it and rewrite everything?

     Actually, when you add text, you can select the text block size from the options window before you type. 

    If you want to change everything that is assigned to a specific text block, you can do that through Setup > Design Parameter > Text tab > Setup text sizes and modify the block you are trying to change.  To change specific text, use Edit > Change and select an existing text block in the options window.

    Setup>Design Parameters, Text tab, Setup Text Sizes. The Text Block number looks up the Width, Height, Line Space, Photplot Width, Character Space from there, change the values in the cells and all the text that references that Text Block will change. If you only want some of the text to change, you will need to use Edit>Change and change the referenced Text Block in the Options tab and then change the values for the referenced Text Block, if required. You can Add new Text Blocks in Setup>Design Parameters, Text tab, Setup Text Sizes as well.
