Date Zone Scale dialog
You use the Date Zone Scale dialog to specify the precise scaling you want to apply to the date zone in a printout - the horizontal scaling. You can create up to three separate date zone sections for the printout, each with its own scale settings. For example, you might want to create one section for past work, one section for current work and one section for future work. To focus on current work in the printout, you could apply the following scales to each section:
- Section 1 (past work): 2 weeks per centimetre.
- Section 2 (current work): 1 day per centimetre.
- Section 3 (future work): 1 week per centimetre.
How to access the Date Zone Scale dialog
To access the Date Zone Scale dialog, select the upper Scale button on the Scaling tab of the Print dialog.

How do I...
... specify the horizontal scaling to apply to the printout?
- Enter the number of time units you want to display per centimetre, for example 2 weeks per centimetre, in the first row of the dialog. If you want to apply the same horizontal scaling to the entire printout, this is all you need to do.
- If you want to apply different scaling to different sections of the printout, select the 2 check box to create a second date zone section. Enter the date on which you want the new section to start, then specify the number of time units you want to display per centimetre for this section.
- If you want to create a third date zone scale, select the 3 check box and specify its start date and scaling.
