Type Tricks
Type Tricks is XTensions software that adds the following typographic utilities: Make
Fraction, Make Price, Word Space Tracking, Line Check, and Custom Underline.
Make Fraction
The Make Fraction command (Style > Type Style) enables you to format fractions
automatically. This command becomes active when a fraction is selected or the cursor is
placed adjacent to (and on the same line as) the characters that make up the fraction.
Examples of fractions that could be formatted are: 11/42, 131/416, and 11/4x.
To convert characters into a fraction, select the characters and choose Style > Type Style >
Make Fraction.
The characters in the fraction are converted using Baseline Shift and the formatting specified
in the Fraction/Price tab of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences >
Application > Fraction/Price).
Make Price
The Make Price command (Style > Type Style) enables you to format prices automatically.
This command is available when text that can be formatted as a price (such as $1.49,
£20.00, and a.bc) is selected or the cursor is adjacent to (and on the same line as) any of
the characters. A price must contain a radix (decimal symbol), which is indicated by a
period or comma. Characters before and after the radix can be only letters or numbers.
To convert characters to a price, select the characters you want to format and choose
Style > Type Style > Make Price.
When you apply Make Price, QuarkXPress automatically applies the superior type style
to the characters that follow the radix.
The appearance of converted fractions and prices is determined by the values and selections
entered in the Fraction/Price tab of the Preferences dialog box ( QuarkXPress /Edit >
Preferences > Application > Fraction/Price).
Word Space Tracking
The Word Space Tracking feature enables you to apply tracking to word spaces only.
(Tracking values are normally applied between both characters and words.) This feature
can only be accessed through keyboard commands.
