Synchronization behavior within the Quark Publishing Platform environment:
Any change made in the external hyphenation exceptions file which is checked in to
server, will be reflected in the project's layout the next time the project is opened or
checked out.
Any change made in the hyphenation exceptions from the QuarkXPress end will be
reflected in the referenced external hyphenation exceptions file whenthe user performs
a Save or Check In of the project. A new revision (major) of the referenced hyphenation
exception asset will be silently created on the server.
Using discretionary hyphens
In addition to hyphenating text automatically, you can control line breaks and text
flow by inserting manual, or discretionary, hyphens (Command+- [hyphen]/Ctrl+-
[hyphen]). A discretionary hyphen is inserted only when a word is broken at the end
of a line.
Controlling tracking
Tracking lets you adjust the space between selected characters and words for copyfitting
and typographic effects. Tracking values are expressed as ½00 of an em space. A positive
tracking value increases the space to the right of each character; a negative value
decreases it.
Tracking is commonly used for copyfitting. However, too much tracking can interfere
with design and readability. When you are using tracking for copyfitting, consider
these guidelines:
Track whole paragraphs rather than one line or one word.
Establish guidelines for tracking (for example from +3 to 3).
Make sure vertically adjacent paragraphs have similar tracking applied.
These are general rules; appropriate tracking values depend on the design, font, column
width, and other factors.
Tracking manually
To apply tracking to selected text, do one of the following things:
(Windows only) : Choose Style > Track, enter a value in the Track Amount field, and
then click OK.
Use the Track Amount controls in the Measurements palette.
Use one of the keyboard commands below.
