Took a computerized test for Excel 1997 (although I am
learning 2000). Question came up asking to 'Scale
Worksheet'. Thus far I cannot find the term or icon
anywhere, nor does anyone I know who uses Excel extensively
know the term. Thank you. Joyce
 
Joyce,

I've never heard the term. Perhaps they are referring to Zoom
settings.

Chip,
That's a better guess than I had (write a VBA macro to parse each
formula cell, doing an arbitrary transform of each constant <g>).

You would be amazed at how difficult it can be to write a test. Tushar
Mehta (then a PhD candidate at slave wages) caught a number of
ambiguities in tests I wrote years back with a colleague who is famously
careful. Actually, it was his idea to "test our tests" on poor PhD
students.

Seems to me like the OP deserves an "official" response from those who
created the test. Litigation, anyone?

Regards,
Dave B
 
The term is used in the help topic 'Change the worksheet area
that appears on a
printed page', and it appears to be a synonym for 'adjust', which is the term
actually used in the Page tab of the Page Setup dialog.

Which is, in the object model, called Zoom. Does that mean I win?

Never throw money at lawyers. You can never get rid of them after that.

Sorry, buddy, but you lose by having heard from the both of Harlan *and*
me. You might be right, though <g>.

You're right. FWLIW, Zoom is a property of both Window and PageSetup objects.
Help seems to use 'scale' only in regard to the latter.
