and horizontally according to the entry in the Width field.
• The Original and Scaled dimensions of the bounding box of the item or group
are displayed (in current units of measurement). These values are updated whenever
you change a value in the Width or Height fields.
• To change scaling settings, click the Settings button in the Scale dialog box or

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).
