magazine and another layout in the same project for a Web page that includes the ad.
The layout artist can restrict the use of this Composition Zones item to this single
project, but the ad can match exactly in print and on the Web.
Composition Zones terminology
Composition Zones are unique because they have the characteristics of items when
you place them in a layout, but they behave like layouts when you edit their contents.
Composition Zones item: An item that shows the contents of a layout that exists
elsewhere. You can think of a Composition Zones item as a "window" through which
you can see the contents of a different layout. The layout shown in a
Composition Zones item is called its composition layout (see next definition). Each
Composition Zones item gets its content from one (and only one) composition layout.
Composition layout: A special kind of layout that is used only to provide contents for
a Composition Zones item. You can think of a composition layout as the layout that
is visible through the "window" of a Composition Zones item. Multiple synchronized
Composition Zones items can display the contents of a single composition layout.
However, a composition layout can be edited by only one person at a time.
When you create a Composition Zones item, QuarkXPress automatically creates a
composition layout to provide content for that Composition Zones item.
When you add content to a composition layout, it automatically updates any corresponding
Composition Zones items. The updates display in the Composition Zones items according
to the preferences that are set for the layouts that contain the Composition Zones items
(immediately, at print time, or when opening the project).
Original Composition Zones item: The initial layout or user-defined area from which a
Composition Zones item was created.
