Pasting Graphic, controlling proportions

Post by baker7jenz »

When I paste a graphic from another program (Sibelius), I often need to reduce the size. While this is easy to do, it is hard to get the exact proportions with the sliding vertical/horizontal guides. I'd like to know how to make graphics proportionally correct so I don't need to futz with every single one.

Ideas?

thanks, Jen
