Preview check box, and then enter the page number in the PDF Page field.

pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu), and then check More Information.
Scale XTensions software
Scale XTensions software lets you quickly scale QuarkXPress layouts, items, groups,
and contents similar to the way drawing programs scale objects. Through the Scale
Settings dialog box, you can specify what gets scaled — text, frames, offsets, line
weights, and more.
Scale XTensions software adds the following to QuarkXPress:
• Item > Scale lets you specify a new width, a new height, or both for the selected item,
items, or group.
• Window > Scale displays the Scale palette, which provides the same controls as the
Scale command. In addition, the Scale palette lets you scale the entire layout. You
can also scale the selected item, items, group, or layout up or down by 5% by choosing
Increase Size or Decrease Size from the palette menu.
Scale dialog box and Scale palette
Both the Scale dialog box and the Scale palette offer the following features:
• You can scale in terms of percentages of the item’s current size (percent), or by entering
new dimensions (in current units of measurement). First, choose Percent or Units
from the menus to the right of the Width and Height fields, and then enter appropriate
values in the fields.
•
To scale items proportionally, click the Constrain button . When you constrain
scaling, the Height option is unavailable and items will be scaled equally vertically
and horizontally according to the entry in the Width field.
