Click the Preserve Proportions checkbox to select or deselect it.

If the Preserve Proportions checkbox is selected, the width and height must
stay in proportion—if you change one, the other changes automatically by the
same proportion.

If the Preserve Proportions checkbox isn’t selected, you can change the work
area’s vertical and horizontal dimensions in any way you like.

Define the new dimensions you want for the work area by typing a percentage in the
Percent box or typing new dimensions in the Width and Height boxes

.

The Percent box is always set to 100 when you first open the dialog box.
When you type a new number, the Width and Height boxes also change to
show the size of the work area at that percentage.

Alternatively, you can type the new dimensions you want in the Width and
Height boxes. If the Preserve Proportions checkbox is selected, changing one
automatically changes the other.
