This scale objects 'by value' method provides an "easy-to-use" horizontal and vertical scaling for the standard pagination measures, e.g. make wider or narrower for 1 column, half column, 1pt, make higher or shorter for 1 line, or 1pt, by pressing predefined combinations of shortcut keys.

Note: the listed shortcuts apply to the standard configuration. Your custom configuration may be different. The keys are set in the Fred4_Tabitems.
