overprint). When this box is unchecked, the color of the background is combined with
the color of the shadow to create the intermediate shades you see on screen. In general,
this box should be checked when the shadow is black (regardless of shade or opacity) but
unchecked when the shadow is a lighter color.
• Inherit Item's Opacity: Check this to have the drop shadow reflect different opacities in
the item, such as differences in the box background and frame.
• Item Knocks Out Drop Shadow: Check this to prevent a shadow from displaying through
semi-opaque areas of an item — to keep a shadow from peeping through its box, for
example.
• Runaround Drop Shadow: Check this to include a drop shadow with the text wrap contour
specified in the Runaround pane (Item > Modify). The runaround Outset value is measured
from the edges of the drop shadow. For example, if text is wrapping around a rectangular
pull-out quote with a drop shadow, text will not overlap the drop shadow when Runaround
Drop Shadow is checked.
To create text with a drop shadow, put the text in a box with a background of None, and
apply the drop shadow to the box.
When you apply drop shadows to several non-grouped items, the items can cast shadows
on each other if they overlap. When you apply a drop shadow to a group, however, the
group as a whole casts a single shadow.
Guide Manager Pro XTensions software
Guide Manager Pro provides precision controls for creating and editing on-screen guides.
You can specify a location for a guide, whether it's horizontal or vertical, whether it applies
to a page or entire spread, a display color, and a view scale at which the guide displays.
You can edit, copy, and paste guides; mirror guides; create grids, rows, and columns of
guides; create guides from a box; and add bleed and safety guides.
This XTensions software adds the Guides palette to QuarkXPress (Window menu).
See "Working with guides."
