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.
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 •
choose Scale Settings from the Scale palette menu. The Adaptive Scaling dialog
box displays. Each check box controls whether a particular item or attribute is
scaled or not.

In the Scale palette, you can check Layout to scale the entire layout and everything
in it.
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.
Scaling 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 scaling. 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).
