Preferences
Preferences let you control the default behavior of QuarkXPress.
Understanding preferences
The Preferences command (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences) displays the Preferences
dialog box. The Preferences dialog box contains several panes that enable you to
specify default settings for the various functions of the application. To view a pane,
click its name in the list on the left. There are three types of preferences:
• Application preferences apply to the application and affect the way all projects are
handled.
• Project preferences affect all layouts in the active project. However, if you change project
preferences with no projects open, the new preferences become the default settings
for all new projects.
• Layout preferences affect only the active layout. However, if you change layout
preferences with no projects open, the new preferences become the default settings
for all new layouts.
Additional panes and options display in the Preferences submenu when certain
XTensions software is loaded.
Nonmatching Preferences alert
The Nonmatching Preferences alert displays when you open a project that was last
saved with kerning table information, tracking table information, or hyphenation
exceptions that are different from the settings contained in the current preferences
files. You have the option of using the settings in the project or those in the preferences
files.
• If you click Use XPress Preferences, the preference information that had been saved
with the project is ignored and all layouts are changed to the preference settings in
your preferences files. Text might reflow because of different automatic kerning or
tracking information or different hyphenation exceptions. Changes you make to these
settings while the project is active are stored both in the project and in the preferences
files. The advantage of the Use XPress Preferences feature is that the project will be
based on the same kerning table information, tracking table information, and
hyphenation exceptions as your other projects.
