| When resizing facing pages documents, items on the right-hand pages seem to move to the wrong place (old info). |
|
You're not imagining it. Quark takes it upon itself to re-layout your pages any time you change document size. It does this in order to preserve margins and page placement of items which does not always preserve spread placement. ProScale 5.1 (Feb. 2000) will solve this problem, but it will only work in QuarkXPress 4.1 or higher. |

| I'm having trouble scaling certain selections. |
|
Though this is rare, sometimes, depending on memory conditions, you might need to break scaling into several sections, first scaling the left half and then the right. You will then need to readjust the position of your right section. |

| I have Picture Wrangler XT and I get crashes with my ProScale 5. |
|
Get the latest version of Picture Wrangler as they have fixed this bug. Since it seems to be their bug there's not much we can do about it other than that. Solution 2 is to remove the Picture Wrangler XT to avoid the conflict. |

| In XPress 4.x I have trouble scaling |
|
Try ungrouping groups before scaling. Also, versions before 5.0 of the scaler will not recognize certain 4.x items such as bezier curves and text along a path. They will not get scaled. Upgrade to 5.0! |

| I wish I had a little palette on screen which I could use to resize things. |

You do--the tool palette! We feel that professionals like you don't really need a whole new palette on your screen just so you can resize things (but wait until you see the new BumpCity if you must have a palette). ProScale works like it's built into QuarkXPress. For instance, let's say you want to make a table 7/8" wider. All you do is select it, click on the ProScale tool and enter +7/8 into the measurements palette, as shown, and hit return. And, of course, it uses all the IntelliScale settings from the ProScale dialog so it's much more effective than doing this without ProScale.
Or, to make it 1/3 as wide you could type *.333 or any number you want.
Or, you may want to half it. Simply type /2 or any other number. |
