library. A library entry can be a text box, text path, picture box, line, multiple-selected
items, or a group. To move entries in and out of libraries, you simply drag them or cut/copy
and paste them.
Libraries are good for storing items that may be needed at any time in a layout. For example,
corporate logos, legal information, commonly used pictures and text, chart formats, and
clip art are all good candidates for library entries. Items with hard-to-remember formatting
can also be saved in a library.
Use the Library palette's scroll bar to scroll vertically through library entries. Drag the
resize box in the lower-right corner of a Library palette to resize it. You can expand a
Library palette by clicking its zoom box. Click the zoom box again to return to the previous
display.

QuarkXPress libraries are not cross-platform, so libraries must be opened using the platform
on which they were created.
Creating libraries
You can create a new library any time, as long as you have fewer than 25 files open. To
create a new library:
1
Choose File > New > Library.
When you create a new library, it stays open until you manually close it. When you launch
QuarkXPress, any library palettes that were previously open are reopened automatically
and placed in the default library positions.
2
Use the controls in the dialog box to specify a location for the new library file.
3
Enter a name for the library in the Library Name/File name field.
4
Click Create.
