Hello Alex, Having inserted your text box, navigate to it. VoiceOver will say: "Rectangle layout item". Jump to the Formatter using VO-j and select Arrange. In the Arrange formatter scroll area, navigate down to Size where you'll find the object's dimensions. Below that is Position which gives its X and Y coordinates.
Both Size and Position are editable so you can make the object whatever size you want.
