PSetWidth

Specifies the printed width of text characters. The extent of the action depends on which tool is active, whether any text is selected, and whether a publication is open when the command is executed.

Percentageto scale width of characters (from 5.0 to 250.0; normal is 100.0) in tenths of a percent (100.0% = 1000).
