Using palette groups The Palette Groups feature lets you combine several palettes into one. A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS 10.
THE USER INTERFACE This palette group shows the Colors, Advanced Image Control, and Style Sheets palettes attached as one, which economizes space while providing easy access to functions. (Windows only)To attach a palette to a palette group, Control+click/right-click the title bar of a palette group and choose an unchecked palette name. When you attach a palette that is already displayed, the palette moves to become part of the palette group.
THE USER INTERFACE Layout controls When you open a project, you have immediate access to some basic features at the bottom left of the project window. Layout controls 1 Zoom: Enter a zoom percentage or choose a zoom value from the drop-down menu (the maximum zoom limit is 8000%). 2 Page Number: Enter a page number in the Page Number field or choose a page from the page list that displays when you click the upward facing arrow to the right of the field. 3 Previous Page: Navigate to the previous page.
THE USER INTERFACE update in the other pane in real time. You can split multiple views horizontally or vertically within a window. By splitting a window, you can view your work at different magnifications at the same time. There are three ways to split a window: • Choose Window > Split Window > Horizontal or Window > Split Window > Vertical. • (Windows only) Click the split bar to the right of the scroll bar (for a vertical split) or at the top of the scroll bar (for a horizontal split).
THE USER INTERFACE Using Story Editor view Story Editor view lets you concentrate on the text of a story without the distraction of the layout. In Story Editor view, all text is the same size and the same font, the text fills the entire window, and only the most basic character formatting (such as bold and italic) are displayed. A red background indicates where text has overflowed beyond the last text box or path in the story.
THE USER INTERFACE QuarkXPress ships with several default view sets: • Default: This is the default set of view options that displays when you create your first layout after launching QuarkXPress for the first time. • Output Preview: This view set simulates a printed page as closely as possible. Guides, grids, invisibles, and visual indicators are hidden. View > Trim View, View > Hide Suppressed, and View > Full Res Previews are turned on.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS Projects and layouts QuarkXPress files are referred to as projects, and each project contains one or more layouts. Every layout is stored within a project, and every project contains at least one layout. Each layout can contain as many as 2,000 pages, and can be as large as 48" x 48" in size (or 24" x 48" for a two-page spread). A project can contain an unlimited number of layouts.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS New Project dialog box for Print layout type Every QuarkXPress project contains at least one layout. Therefore, when you create a project, you must specify a default layout for the file. You can use the default layout name or enter a new name for the layout in the Layout Name field. To indicate the type of the default layout, choose Print, App Studio, or ePub from the Layout Type drop-down menu. For more information about App Studio layouts, see A Guide to App Studio.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS The Facing Pages check box lets you create spreads. In a project with a horizontal default story direction, the Allow Odd Pages On Left check box lets you control whether you can have odd pages on the left. In a project with a vertical default story direction, the Allow Odd Pages On Right check box lets you control whether you can have odd pages on the right. The Automatic Text Box check box lets you add a text box to the default master page for the layout.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS When you use the following commands, only the active layout is included in the resulting output: • File > Export > Layout as PDF • File > Export > Layout as Project • File > Export > Page as EPS • File > Export > Reflow as ePub • File > Export > Reflow as Kindle Layers apply to the layout that is active when you create and edit them. When you perform a project-level action (Edit > Undo), the action is added to the Undo History in all layouts.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS Working with guides Guides are nonprinting guidelines that help you to line up items and text in a layout. There are three types of guides: Ruler guides, column and margin guides and Dynamic guides. Design grids are nonprinting guidelines that you can use to align items and text according to text size and position. For more information, see "Guide Manager Pro XTensions software" and "Understanding design grids.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS • To reposition a ruler guide, click it, and then drag it to a different location when the guide pointer displays. You can also double-click the ruler guide with the Item tool selected and enter a new location into the Guide Manager Pro dialog box. • To remove a ruler guide, drag the guide off the page. • To remove all ruler guides from a page, scroll until a portion of the page displays, then press Option/Alt and drag the guide back on to the ruler.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS • Select Show Equal Dimensions to display guide lines that are generated when the dimensions of items are equal to the dimensions of other items. These are generated when you create and resize items. • Select Show Equal Spacing to display guide lines that are generated when the horizontal and/or vertical distance between items is equal to the distance between other items on the page. These are generated when you create and move items.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Boxes, lines, and tables To create a successful page layout, you need an orderly way to arrange text and pictures — you need boxes. Boxes are items that can contain text or pictures; they can even be created to contain no content at all, perhaps to create colorful design elements on a page. Box boundaries give text and pictures a specific shape, size, and placement on a page.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Understanding handles The bounding boxes of selected text paths, lines, and boxes have small white squares called item handles. You can use these handles to resize and rotate a selected item. Item handles To resize an item, click and drag its item handles. To rotate an item, click and drag just outside one of the item's corner handles.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES You can use picture content handles to resize or rotate a picture without changing the size or angle of its picture box. • Resize pointers: • Rotation pointers: Rotated picture in an unrotated box If you want to move a picture box or see what its crop looks like without the transparent overlay, press the Command/Ctrl key. This temporarily dismisses the overlay and allows you to interact with the box as if the Item tool were selected.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Examples of corner points Smooth point: A smooth point connects two curved lines to form a continuous curve. The curve handles always rest on a straight line through the point, but they can be distanced independently: A smooth point Symmetrical point: A symmetrical point connects two curved lines to form a continuous curve.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • To add a point to a Bézier box while working with the Bézier Pen tool segment. Alternatively, you can use the Add Point tool , click a line . • To remove a point from a Bézier box while working with the Bézier Pen tool the point. Alternatively, you can use the Remove Point tool , click . • To convert a point to another type of point while working with the Bézier Pen tool , Option+click/Alt+click the point. Alternatively, you can use the Convert Point tool .
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES To change a no-content box into a picture box, press Command+E/Alt+E and import a picture file. You can change the corner type of rectangular boxes to rounded, concave, and beveled corners using the Item > Shape submenu or the Box Corner Style drop-down menu in the Measurements palette. You can add and alter rounded corners by entering values in the Box Corner Radius field in the Home/Classic tab of the Measurements palette.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Resizing boxes You can resize any box by modifying the size of its bounding box. A bounding box is a nonprinting, rectangular shape that encloses every box. The box's item handles demarcate the bounding box. The best way to view the bounding box clearly is to use the Item tool to select item handles on a Bézier box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES To use the proportion-locking feature with item styles, display the Box or Picture tab of the Edit Item Style dialog box (Edit > Item Styles) and check Proportions. Reshaping boxes You can change the shape of a box in three ways: • You can change the shape entirely by choosing a different option from the Item > Shape submenu. • (Windows only) You can add and alter rounded corners to rectangular boxes by entering values in the Corner Radius field (Item > Modify > Box tab).
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES You can also specify box color in an Item Style. For more about Item Styles, see "Item Styles XTensions software." Applying blends to boxes A blend is a gradual transition from one color to another. To apply a blend to the background of active boxes, do one of the following: • (Windows only) Choose Item > Modify (Command+M/Ctrl+M), click the Box tab, and then use the controls in the Blend area. • (MAC OS X only) Use the controls in the Home/Classic tab of the Measurements palette.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES notice that there are now two points at every location where two lines originally crossed. • The Combine command is similar to the Exclusive Or command, but if you look at the points surrounding the cut-out area, you will notice that no points were added where two lines intersect.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Creating lines To create a line, first select the Line tool Crosshair pointer from the Tools palette and move the to any position on the page. Click and drag to draw the line. You can constrain a line to 0, 45, or 90 degrees by pressing Shift while you draw it. Creating Bézier lines The Bézier Pen tool lets you draw multi sided Bézier boxes and lines that can have straight and curved line segments (see "Understanding Bézier shapes").
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • Midpoint mode: The XC field indicates the horizontal position of the midpoint of the line; the YC field indicates the vertical position of the midpoint of the line. • Right Point mode: The X2 field indicates the horizontal position of the rightmost end-point; the Y2 field indicates the vertical position of the rightmost end-point.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • Line style: This option lets you control the general appearance of a line. Several line styles are included by default, and you can add new ones with the Dashes & Stripes dialog box (Edit menu). • Width: You can specify the width of lines in any measurement system. You can also specify a Hairline width; the printed width of a hairline rule is .125 pt on a PostScript imagesetter, with a wider value on some laser printers.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Content tool selected, the Import dialog box displays. If the picture box contains a picture, the Picture Content tool is selected and the Edit Original dialog box displays . To deselect an active item, click outside it. When the Item tool is selected, you can press Tab to deselect any active items. Moving items You can move items by: • (Windows only) Entering values in the Origin Across and Origin Down fields in the Modify dialog box (Item menu).
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES In a document with layers, the layers themselves are in a particular stacking order; within each layer, each item has its own relationship to the stacking order. When you use the Send to Back, Send Backward, Bring to Front, and Bring Forward commands (Item menu), the stacking order of the items is altered within the layer.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Resizing grouped items To resize every item in a group simultaneously, click and drag the group's item handles. If you press Command+Shift/Ctrl+Shift while resizing a group, all frame widths, line weights, pictures, and text are resized proportionally. If you press Command/Ctrl while resizing a group, frame widths, pictures, and text are still resized, but not proportionally. Duplicating items QuarkXPress lets you make single or multiple copies of boxes, lines, and text paths.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES drag. If you press the Shift key when rotating, movements are constrained to 45-degree angles. • (Windows only) Choose Item > Modify (Command+M/Ctrl+M), enter a value in the Angle field, and click OK. • Enter a value in the field on the Measurements palette (Home/Classic and Space/Align tabs) and press Return/Enter.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • You can create figures with pictures and text that follow their references from page to page. • You can create pull quotes that can automatically move to a different page with their source text. • You can create "floating" icons that sit in the space to the left of a paragraph to indicate that the paragraph is a tip, a note, a warning, and so forth. For more information, see the topics below.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Settings for a callout with a fixed horizontal location and a variable vertical location It is important to note that the settings for a callout are stored with its callout anchor, not with the callout itself You can control the positioning of a callout by configuring its callout anchor directly, or by applying a callout style to the callout anchor. A callout style is a named package of callout settings that displays in a palette.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES You can think of callout styles as similar to style sheets (for more information, see "Working with style sheets"). Like style sheets and other resources, callout styles can be managed with Job Jackets (for more information, see "Job Jackets"). A callout anchor can be selected or unselected. When a callout anchor is selected, it has a red outline and its callout style (if any) is selected in the Callout Styles palette.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • To apply a callout style to the callout anchor, display the Callout Styles palette (Window menu) and click the name of the callout style, or choose Item > Callout Anchor > Callout Styles > [Callout Style Name]. For more information, see "Working with callout styles." • To edit the settings of the callout anchor directly, choose Item > Callout Anchor > Edit Callout Settings.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Callout Styles dialog box You can edit the Default callout style, but you cannot delete it. Callouts and runaround If a callout with runaround causes its callout anchor to move, this can lead to an error state. For example, if a callout's runaround pushes its callout anchor to the next page, the callout moves to the next page — which allows the callout anchor to return to the previous page, which causes the callout to return to the previous page, and so on.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Working with tables In QuarkXPress, a table is a distinct item, like a text box, picture box, text path, or line. When working with tables, you can pretty much think of a cell as an individual picture box, text box, or no-content box, and you can handle cells in much the same way you handle these other items. To work with elements of the table itself — such as rows and columns — use the Table menu.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 7 If you intend to import data from Excel, check Link to External Data. For more information, see "Importing Excel tables." 8 If you want the table to remain the same size if you add or delete rows, check Maintain Geometry. 9 To specify the story direction for table cells, click Horizontal or Vertical in the Story Direction area. 10 To specify the table orientation, click Horizontal or Vertical in the Table Direction area. 11 Click OK.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 3 If you want to create text cells that expand as you add text, use the controls in the Auto Fit area. 4 If you want the information in the table to flow differently — for example, if the values are currently in descending order but would have more impact in ascending order — you can change the flow. Choose an option from the Cell Fill Order drop-down menu (the default is Left to Right, Top Down). 5 Click OK. A new table is created, offset from the original text box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES The Table Link dialog box 4 Click Browse to locate and select an Excel file to import. 5 If the file includes multiple worksheets, choose the one you want to import from the Sheet drop-down menu. If you want to import only a portion of the data, you can specify a cell range in the Range field or choose a named range from the drop-down menu. 6 In the Options area, check the attributes you want to import. 7 Click OK. Formulas and references are not imported.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Adding text and pictures to tables When working with tables, think of a table cell as a text box or a picture box. Each box contains content — text that may or may not be linked to the next cell, an individual picture, or nothing (maybe just a blend). Therefore, you can add content to tables much as you add content to boxes — by typing text, importing text, or importing pictures. Converting text cells to picture cells is the same as converting a text box to a picture box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • To link all the cells in a table, check Link Cells in the Table Properties dialog box when you create the table. • To link selected cells in a table, choose Table > Link Text Cells. All but the first cell in the selection must be empty. • To manually link table cells, use the Linking tool . As with linking text boxes, click to select the starting cell and then click the next cell you want to add. To redirect existing links, Shift+click with the Linking tool.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES The Grid tab of the Modify dialog box 3 To select all gridlines, vertical gridlines, or horizontal gridlines, click one of the buttons to the right of the Preview area. From top to bottom, the buttons select All Gridlines, Horizontal Gridlines, or Vertical Gridlines. 4 Change any values in the Grid tab, using the Preview area and the Apply button to help you make decisions.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Combining cells To combine cells, Shift+click a rectangular selection of cells with the Text Content tool . Choose Table > Combine Cells. To revert combined cells to match the surrounding table, select the combined cells and then choose Table > Split Cells. If you combine unlinked cells containing text or pictures, the content of the upper-left cell in the selection is maintained for the combined cell.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES When tables are continued, you may still need a legend to explain what's in the table. You can add a legend in the form of automatically created and synchronized header and footer rows, and you can create special "continued" table headers for portions of a table after the first. Anchoring tables in text One way to continue a table in another location is to anchor the table in a text box.
