You can change the increment via Preferences>Units & Increments. In my edition of InD CS3 (in this case, works the same as CS2), there are four windows in the bottom of that Prefs pane that govern incremental change. Just input the amout you want in points and that ought to do it. You’re welcome.

Your solution works. Now I'd like to scale the type up and down by 5-point increments, not 10, which I am getting. Any way to adjust this? Thank you Samuel!

Before you do this, go to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts, and make sure that the shortcut set you've selected is QuarkXPress 4.0 (yes, they have a Quark-style set of keyboard shortcuts so your learning curve can be made a little gentler).
