ABOUT THIS GUIDE About this guide You do not need to read the QuarkXPress® documentation from beginning to end. Instead, use this guide to quickly look up information, find out what you need to know, and get on with your work.
ABOUT THIS GUIDE Conventions Formatting conventions highlight information to help you quickly find what you need. • Bold type style: The names of all dialog boxes, fields, and other controls are set in bold type. For example: "Click OK." • References: In descriptions of features, parenthetical references guide you in accessing those features. For example: "The Find/Change dialog box (Edit menu) lets you find and replace text.
ABOUT THIS GUIDE custom modules for QuarkXPress. QuarkXTensions® (Quark® XTensions software) also provide a modular approach for meeting your particular publishing needs. And if you can write AppleScript® scripts, you can use this scripting language from Apple® to automate many QuarkXPress activities.
THE USER INTERFACE The user interface Skimming through the QuarkXPress user interface, you will find that many commands are familiar or self-explanatory. Once you become familiar with QuarkXPress menus and dialog boxes, you will discover that keyboard commands and palettes offer convenient access to features that you can also access through menus.

Tools palette The Tools palette lets you easily switch between a wide variety of tools for working with layouts. For more information, see "Tools." Palette groups and palette sets QuarkXPress offers two features that help you to manage palettes: palette groups and palette sets. Using palette groups The Palette Groups feature lets you combine several palettes into one.
THE USER INTERFACE This palette group shows the Colors, Advanced Image Control, and Style Sheets palettes attached as one, which economizes space while providing easy access to functions. (Windows only)To attach a palette to a palette group, Control+click/right-click the title bar of a palette group and choose an unchecked palette name. When you attach a palette that is already displayed, the palette moves to become part of the palette group.
THE USER INTERFACE To retrieve a palette set, choose Window > Palette Sets > [name of palette set] or press the keyboard combination for that palette set. Layout controls When you open a project, you have immediate access to some basic features at the bottom left of the project window. Layout controls 1 Zoom: Enter a zoom percentage or choose a zoom value from the drop-down menu (the maximum zoom limit is 800%).
THE USER INTERFACE the layout. And the View Sets feature lets you create and easily switch between different view options. Splitting a window By splitting a window into two or more panes, you can display multiple views of one project at the same time, and you can see changes in all panes simultaneously. You can even use different view modes in each pane, and see your edits in one pane and update in the other pane in real time. You can split multiple views horizontally or vertically within a window.
THE USER INTERFACE Creating a window To create a new window that displays the active project, choose Window > New Window. If you open multiple windows for a project, make changes to that project, and then begin closing the windows, the application will not prompt you to save the project until you attempt to close the last window that displays the project. Using Story Editor view Story Editor view lets you concentrate on the text of a story without the distraction of the layout.
THE USER INTERFACE • View > Page Grids • View > Text Box Grids • View > Rulers • View > Ruler Direction • View > Visual Indicators • View > Invisibles • View > Trim View • View > Hide Suppressed QuarkXPress ships with several default view sets: • Default: This is the default set of view options that displays when you create your first layout after launching QuarkXPress for the first time. • Output Preview: This view set simulates a printed page as closely as possible.
THE USER INTERFACE View Sets palette View sets are saved at the application level. However, any view settings you apply to a layout using view sets are saved with that layout.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS Projects and layouts QuarkXPress files are referred to as projects, and each project contains one or more layouts. Every layout is stored within a project, and every project contains at least one layout. Each layout can contain as many as 2,000 pages, and can be as large as 48" x 48" in size (or 24" x 48" for a two-page spread). A project can contain an unlimited number of layouts.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS New Project dialog box for Print layout type Every QuarkXPress project contains at least one layout. Therefore, when you create a project, you must specify a default layout for the file. You can use the default layout name or enter a new name for the layout in the Layout Name field. To indicate the type of the default layout, choose Print, App Studio, or ePub from the Layout Type drop-down menu. For more information about App Studio layouts, see A Guide to App Studio.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS Use the Default Story Direction controls to specify horizontal or vertical direction for the layout. The Facing Pages check box lets you create spreads. In a project with a horizontal default story direction, the Allow Odd Pages On Left check box lets you control whether you can have odd pages on the left. In a project with a vertical default story direction, the Allow Odd Pages On Right check box lets you control whether you can have odd pages on the right.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS dialog box displays. You can use this dialog box to change a project's layout type, but you cannot change a layout to or from an App Studio layout type. (For more information, see A Guide to App Studio.) To delete a layout, display the layout, then choose Layout > Delete or choose Delete from the Layout tab context menu.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS • (Windows only)Tracking settings (Utilities > Kerning Table Edit) (Print layouts only) • (Mac OS X only)Tracking settings (Edit > Font Tracking Tables) (Print layouts only) • Hyphenation exceptions (Utilities > Hyphenation Exceptions) • Zoom values Working with guides Guides are nonprinting guidelines that help you to line up items and text in a layout. There are two types of guides: Ruler guides and column and margin guides.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS Measurements palette is open when you drag a ruler guide, the guide's position is indicated in the X field (for vertical ruler guides) or the Y field (for horizontal ruler guides). • If, as you create a horizontal ruler guide, you release the mouse button when the ruler guide is positioned over the pasteboard, the ruler guide will extend across the pasteboard and all the pages in the spread.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Boxes, lines, and tables To create a successful page layout, you need an orderly way to arrange text and pictures — you need boxes. Boxes are items that can contain text or pictures; they can even be created to contain no content at all, perhaps to create colorful design elements on a page. Box boundaries give text and pictures a specific shape, size, and placement on a page.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Understanding handles The bounding boxes of selected text paths, lines, and boxes have small white squares called item handles. You can use these handles to resize and rotate a selected item. Item handles To resize an item, click and drag its item handles. To rotate an item, click and drag just outside one of the item's corner handles.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Picture content handles display even if the selected picture exceeds the size of its box (see illustration above). The picture displays beyond the box boundary. You can crop the image by resizing the picture box. You can use picture content handles to resize or rotate a picture without changing the size or angle of its picture box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES can be manipulated independently, usually to form a sharp transition between the two segments: Examples of corner points Smooth point: A smooth point connects two curved lines to form a continuous curve. The curve handles always rest on a straight line through the point, but they can be distanced independently: A smooth point Symmetrical point: A symmetrical point connects two curved lines to form a continuous curve.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES When the Select Point tool is positioned over an active Bézier box or line, various pointers display indicating whether you can select a point, the curve handles, or a line segment. Click and drag using the pointers to reshape the Bézier box or line. • To change the shape entirely, choose a different option from the Item > Shape submenu. • To add a point to a Bézier box while working with the Bézier Pen tool segment. Alternatively, you can use the Add Point tool , click a line .
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES To constrain rectangular boxes to squares and oval boxes to circles, press Shift while you drag. You can create boxes with the following tools: To change a no-content box into a text box, press Command+E/Alt+E and import a text file. To change a no-content box into a picture box, press Command+E/Alt+E and import a picture file.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES When any of the drawing tools are active, you can press Command/Ctrl to temporarily switch to the Select Point tool. When the Select Point tool is active, you can press Command+Option/Ctrl+Alt to temporarily switch to the Item tool. You can join, extend or close existing open paths. For more information see "Joining, extending and closing open paths". Resizing boxes You can resize any box by modifying the size of its bounding box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES The proportion lock controls in the unlocked (top) and locked (bottom) states To lock the proportions of the picture in the selected box, display the Home/Classic tab of the Measurements palette and click the proportion lock control next to the X% and Y% fields. If this control is locked, QuarkXPress maintains the picture's aspect ratio during resizing operations. On Windows, you can also lock box proportions in the Picture tab of the Modify dialog box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES You can also create your own frame styles in the Dashes and Stripes dialog box (Edit menu) and specify frame settings in an Item Style. For more about Item Styles, see "Item Styles XTensions software." Applying colors to boxes To apply a background color to active boxes, do one of the following: • (Windows only) Choose Item > Modify (Command+M/Ctrl+M), click the Box tab, and then use the controls in the Box area.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Merging and splitting boxes Options in the Merge or Split Paths submenu (Item menu) let you create complex Bézier boxes from existing boxes. For example, if a rectangular box overlaps an oval box, you can select the submenu and choose an option that will create a single box with the same content. If you merge two picture boxes, one picture will display in the combined box. If you merge two text boxes, the text flows as one story through both boxes.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES by choosing File > Import and selecting a picture. You can change a picture box to a text box by choosing File > Import and selecting a text file. To convert a selected text box to a text path, choose a line shape from the Item > Shape submenu. When you select a Box tool, you can use the following modifier keys to create text or picture boxes: • Press T as you draw to create a text box. • Press R as you draw to create a picture box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • To make a corner point, press Option/Alt before you click. If you click and hold, you can control the radius of the corner point by dragging a curve handle. • To add a point to an existing segment of the shape, click the line segment where you want the point to be. • To delete a point from the active shape while you are drawing it, click the point. 4 To finish the line, double-click.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES the L (Length) field. To precisely change the length of a line, enter a value in the L field, then press Return/Enter. You can resize any Bézier line by modifying the size of its bounding box. To do so, make sure Item > Edit > Shape is unchecked, and then resize the line as if it were a box. Reshaping lines You can change the shape of a line in the following ways: • You can change the shape entirely by choosing a different option from the Item > Shape submenu.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Joining, extending and closing open paths You can click an endpoint of an existing shape and it selects that point and goes into regular draw mode, so the next click adds a new point and a segment to the selected line. You can add as many segments as you need. Double-click and endpoint to finish the line as an open path. Click an opposite endpoint to close the path (just like during the original draw operation).
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • Manually moving items using the Item tool . If you hold down the mouse before moving a box or text path, you can see the contents as you move the item. You can also "nudge" items by selecting the Item tool and pressing an arrow key on your keyboard. The box's item handles demarcate the bounding box. The best way to view the bounding box clearly is to use the Item tool to select item handles on a Bézier box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES cut, copy, duplicate, and perform a number of other functions on a group. For example, you can group all the items that compose a publication masthead; once grouped, you can modify or move the entire group as you would a single box, line, or text path. After you create a group, you can still edit, resize, and reposition individual items while maintaining the group relationship. You can also place a copy of a group into an open QuarkXPress library for use in other documents.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES The Super Step and Repeat feature is useful for laying out design elements that contain a number of evenly spaced copies of an item. Create multiple copies of an item and specify the distance between them using the Super Step and Repeat command (Item menu). For another way to make uniquely shaped boxes, see " ShapeMaker XTensions software.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Skewing items To skew active items within bounding boxes: • (Windows only) Choose Item > Modify (Command+M/Ctrl+M); then click the Box tab. Enter a value in the Skew field. • Enter a value in the Box Skew field on the Home/Classic tab of the Measurement palette. Positive values slant items to the right; negative values slant them to the left. Locking and unlocking items Locking lets you protect items and content from accidental changes.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Understanding callouts A callout is a floating box that always displays on the same page or spread as the content it pertains to. Each callout is anchored to a particular spot in a text story called a callout anchor. A callout anchor flows along with text like a character. When a callout anchor moves to a new page or spread, the callout moves with it. When guides are displayed, a line links each callout anchor with its associated callout (if any).
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Settings for a callout with a fixed horizontal location and a variable vertical location It is important to note that the settings for a callout are stored with its callout anchor, not with the callout itself You can control the positioning of a callout by configuring its callout anchor directly, or by applying a callout style to the callout anchor. A callout style is a named package of callout settings that displays in a palette.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Callout Styles palette You can think of callout styles as similar to style sheets (for more information, see "Working with style sheets"). Like style sheets and other resources, callout styles can be managed with Job Jackets (for more information, see "Job Jackets"). A callout anchor can be selected or unselected. When a callout anchor is selected, it has a red outline and its callout style (if any) is selected in the Callout Styles palette.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Selected callout anchor 3 Select the item or group that you want to make into a callout. 4 Choose Item > Callout Anchor > Associate with Callout Anchor. The item or group becomes a callout, and a line displays between the callout and the callout anchor. Callout anchor associated with a callout 5 Configure the callout anchor.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES If you choose Spread from the Align callout horizontally relative to drop-down menu and specify a horizontal offset, that offset is inverted on left-facing pages. This allows you, for example, to configure a callout to always be .25" inside of the inside margin; on a right-facing page, such an offset moves the callout to the right, but on a left-facing page the offset must move the callout to the left.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES You can edit the Default callout style, but you cannot delete it. Callouts and runaround If a callout with runaround causes its callout anchor to move, this can lead to an error state. For example, if a callout's runaround pushes its callout anchor to the next page, the callout moves to the next page — which allows the callout anchor to return to the previous page, which causes the callout to return to the previous page, and so on.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES The Table Properties dialog box 2 Specify the number of horizontal rows in the Rows field, and specify the number of vertical columns in the Columns field. 3 To specify the default cell type, click Text Cells or Picture Cells in the Cell Type area. Later, you can select specific cells and convert the content type if needed. 4 If you want to create text cells that expand as you add text, use the controls in the Auto Fit area.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Converting text to tables The success of converting text to a table depends on the text preparation itself. It's important that paragraphs, tabs, spaces, or commas (the characters QuarkXPress can convert) are used consistently in a text block, because these characters are used in the table conversion to define rows and columns. It's common for users to use multiple tab characters in a word processor to align columns of data — rather than setting appropriate tab stops.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Importing Excel tables Table data often originates in a spreadsheet program such as Excel, and you can import table data just as you import pictures. Although the technique is slightly different, the results are the same: The table in QuarkXPress is linked to the Excel file for tracking and updating. You can import both .xls and .xlsx files.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES The Table Link dialog box 4 Click Browse to locate and select an Excel file to import. 5 If the file includes multiple worksheets, choose the one you want to import from the Sheet drop-down menu. If you want to import only a portion of the data, you can specify a cell range in the Range field or choose a named range from the drop-down menu. 6 In the Options area, check the attributes you want to import. 7 Click OK. Formulas and references are not imported.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Adding text and pictures to tables When working with tables, think of a table cell as a text box or a picture box. Each box contains content — text that may or may not be linked to the next cell, an individual picture, or nothing (maybe just a blend). Therefore, you can add content to tables much as you add content to boxes — by typing text, importing text, or importing pictures. Converting text cells to picture cells is the same as converting a text box to a picture box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES controlling text flow in linked cells. In addition to linking table cells to each other, you can link cells to and from text boxes and text paths. • To link all the cells in a table, check Link Cells in the Table Properties dialog box when you create the table. • To link selected cells in a table, choose Table > Link Text Cells. All but the first cell in the selection must be empty. • To manually link table cells, use the Linking tool .
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • Choose an option from the Select submenu of the Table menu: Horizontal Grids, Vertical Grids, Border, or All Grids. 2 Once the appropriate gridlines are selected, on Windows, choose Item > Modify, and then click the Grid tab. The Grid tab of the Modify dialog box 3 To select all gridlines, vertical gridlines, or horizontal gridlines, click one of the buttons to the right of the Preview area.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES menu (such as Odd Rows). Then, choose Table > Delete > Row or Table > Delete > Column.

BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES There are two ways to continue tables: • Anchoring the table in a text box. This is the preferred way to break a table in most situations, because it is easiest to use • Breaking the table manually. This method is necessary when you break a table horizontally (for example, if you want to put the first five columns of a table on one page and the remaining three columns on a different page). When tables are continued, you may still need a legend to explain what's in the table.

For more information, see "Bullets, numbering, outlines, and style sheets.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Numbering alignment and offset works the same way bullet alignment and offset works. For more information, see "Working with bullet styles." You can apply a numbering style in three ways: • Choose the numbering style's name from the •/123 menu in the Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette. If you do it this way, the numbers are positioned to the left of the paragraph's first line indent by its Outset value.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY cumulatively; if level 1 has a 6 pt indent and level 2 has a 6 pt indent, a paragraph at level 2 is indented by 12 pt. Outline style indents are applied on top of paragraph indents. If a paragraph has a left indent of 12 pt, and the indent for an outline style's first level is 6 pt, a paragraph at level 1 would visually be indented by 18 pt. Each level can have a bullet or numbering style, or neither.

TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY 2 Noise lets you specify the smallest allowable closed path. Any closed path smaller than the noise value is ignored. Noise values are useful for cleaning up runaround paths and making them easier to output. 3 Smoothness lets you control path accuracy. A lower value creates a more complex path with a greater number of points. A higher value creates a less accurate path. 4 Threshold determines how "white" is defined. All pixels defined as "white" are excluded.

To control the way text rides the selected text path: • (Windows only) Display the Text Path tab of the Modify dialog box (Item menu), and then click a button in the Text Orientation area to choose how the text should ride the path.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Using anchored boxes You can paste boxes and lines of any shape in text, which makes them act like characters and flow with text. This is especially helpful when text reflows, because anchored items reflow like other characters in the text. If items are not anchored and text reflows, they become displaced, and can end up overlapping text. Anchoring boxes and lines in text When you anchor an item, it behaves like a character flowing in text.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY letters, lowercase letters, numerals, and punctuation are all characters. A glyph is actually an image that represents a character, possibly in different forms. For example, a standard numeral 1 is a character, whereas an old-style numeral 1 is a glyph. As another example, an "f" and an "I" next to each other are characters, whereas an "fi" ligature is a glyph. A one-to-one relationship does not always exist between characters and glyphs.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY OpenType styles available in the Character Attributes dialog box A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS 10 | 149
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY OpenType styles include the following: • Standard Ligatures: Apply ligatures that are designed to enhance readability and are in standard use. • Discretionary Ligatures: Apply ligatures that are not in standard use.
