Percentage    You can specify vertical and horizontal percentages. Scaling an object 150 percent is the same as increasing the object’s size by a factor of 1.5, for example. Ratio    You can specify horizontal and vertical scaling factors as ratios by entering numbers in each set of two boxes. For example, to scale an object to one-third its original height, enter “1” in the first text box, and “3” in the second. 3 To scale an object vertically and horizontally by the same amount, turn Proportional on. 4 To maintain the proportion between an object’s pen size and the overall size of the object, turn Scale Pen on. 5 If one of the selected objects contains text, you can turn Scale Text on to change the size of the characters. Otherwise, text remains the same size. 6 Click Apply to implement the settings. 7 Click OK to scale the object. Depending on the Scale by method you choose, the Scale dialog box may display different options. Tip You can also scale an entire document when you print it, without changing the objects in the document, by specifying a scaling factor in the Print dialog box.
