Scale Settings dialog box
In the Scale palette, you can check Layout to scale the entire layout and everything in it.
Scale XT allows you to scale an item so that it is smaller or larger than QuarkXPress allows.
Such an item will print correctly, but if you attempt to modify it with QuarkXPress tools
or commands, an error message will display.
Scale XT is not designed to work with all items synchronized through the Content palette
Window > Content). Instances of the shared item will inherit only width and height
changes from Scale XT. In addition, do not scale entire layouts that include
Composition Zones.
Rotated items are scaled according to their original geometry. For example, if you scale
just the width of a square box that has been rotated 45 degrees, a rotated rectangle is
produced (rather than, as you might have wanted, a wider diamond).
Scissors XTensions software
Scissors XTensions software adds the Scissors tool to the Tools palette. You can use the
Scissors tool to cut the outline of a box and turn it into a line, or to cut a line or text path
into two.
When the Scissors XTensions software is loaded, the Scissors tool displays in the
QuarkXPress Tools palette. To use the Scissors tool:

Select the Scissors tool .
When a picture box is cut, it is converted to a Bézier line. As a result, the contents of the
box are not retained after the cut is made.
When a text box is cut, it is converted to a text path.
