You can use the XTensions Manager dialog box to enable and disable XTensions modules.
To enable a module, check the box next to its name in the Enable column. To disable a
module, uncheck its box. The change takes effect the next time you launch the application.
Working with XTensions sets (Windows only)
If you find that you frequently enable and disable particular groups of XTensions modules,
you can create an XTensions set that makes it easy to switch between these groups.
To create an XTensions group, first display the XTensions Manager dialog box (Utilities
menu) and enable the XTensions modules you want in the group. Then click Save As and
enter a name for the group. When you want to switch to this group, simply display the
XTensions Manager dialog box and choose the group's name from the Set drop-down
menu.
You can also import and export XTensions sets with the Import and Export buttons, for
situations where you want to share them with other users.
Custom Bleeds XTensions software
Bleed is the term used to describe items that are printed to the edge of a finished page.
Custom Bleeds XTensions software provides enhanced bleed functionality for QuarkXPress,
giving you more control over how items will bleed.
To create a bleed in QuarkXPress, simply create items that extend past the edge of the page
onto the pasteboard, and then specify how much of the area beyond the edge of the page
should be printed. There are three types of bleeds:
A symmetric bleed extends the same distance from each edge of the layout page.
An asymmetric bleed specifies different bleed amounts for each edge of the page.
A page item bleed prints all items that extend beyond the page edge in their entirety.
The bleed rectangle is the distance the bleed extends beyond the page boundaries, and is
defined by the bleed values you enter. For example, if you create a symmetric bleed with
a value of 2 picas, the bleed rectangle encompasses everything that is within 2 picas of
each edge of the page. It is important to note that the Custom Bleeds feature automatically
