Scaling 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.

height changes from scaling. In addition, do not scale entire layouts that include
Composition Zones.
