Tips While Using

• You can continue saving or editing the document after the setting is applied.

Tips While Using

• If Character Scaling does not work, first check whether the text already has an Adjust Width setting.
• Very large or very small scaling ratios can affect readability, so review the full page layout after applying the change.
