Hi Mike

I do not know whether I fully understand your question.
If I'm right, you want to enlarge the document (= the dimensions of the paper). You can do this by going to the menu "File" and selecting "Document properties". In the first tab "Pag" you can select the paper size for printing.
Afterwards you can enlarge the objects proportionally via:
- selecting all objects by using the keyboard combination CTRL+A (or alternatively via the menu "Edit" > "Select all")
- then go to the menu "object" and select "Transform". In the second tab of the Transform dialog, you can set a scaling for width and heigth, so that the content mathces the page size. Make sure "Apply to each object separately" is not selected.

Hope this helps
Kris
