I want to print my map to fit the scale of 1 inch equals 660 feet. How do I change the scaling factor to fit this new size?
Mapping Center Answer:
Another way of saying your scale is 1/12th of a foot = 660 (feet). So, 12 * 660 = 7,920. So, type 7920 in the scale control in ArcMap's standard toolbar.

Just a heads up -- the Map Use book that will be coming out this spring through ESRI Press has a chapter on Scale and some very good instructions on converting between different types of scales (verbal scales like 1" = 660 feet, and representative fractions like 1:7,290). Keep an eye out for it!
