• If you click Keep Document Settings, the project will retain the preferences previously
specified for each layout. Text will not reflow. Automatic kerning, tracking, or hyphenation
exception changes made while the project is active will be stored only with the project.
The Keep Document Settings feature is useful if you want to open and print a layout
without running the risk of text reflow.
Changes to QuarkXPress preferences
Changes to QuarkXPress preferences are handled in the following ways:
• If you make changes to application preferences in the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkXPress/Edit menu) with or without projects open, the changes are saved in the
preferences files and immediately affect all open projects and all subsequently opened
projects.
• If you make changes to XTensions Manager settings (Utilities menu) with or without
projects open, the changes are saved in the preferences files and affect all projects after
you relaunch QuarkXPress.
• (Windows only) If you make changes to PPD Manager settings (Utilities menu) with or
without projects open, the changes are saved in the preferences files and immediately
affect all open projects and all subsequently opened projects.
• If you make changes to layout preferences in the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit
menu) with a project open, the changes are saved only with the active project.
• If you choose a different auxiliary dictionary with a project open, the change is saved only
with the active project.
• If you make changes to the kerning table information, tracking table information, and
hyphenation exceptions in a new project, these changes are saved with the active project
and in the preferences files.
If the Nonmatching Preferences alert displays when you open a project and you click
Use XPress Preferences, changes you make to the kerning table information, tracking
table information, and hyphenation exceptions will be stored both in that project and in
the preferences files.
What's in the preferences files
The contents of the preferences files are as follows. The list is divided into three groups
according to how the various preferences are saved.
Group A
Group A contains the following information:
• Kerning tables (Utilities > Kerning Table Edit)
• Tracking tables (Utilities > Tracking Edit)
• Hyphenation exceptions (Utilities > Hyphenation Exceptions)
