Color Theme pane of the Preferences dialog box
Preferences — Application — Input Settings
Use the Input Settings pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu)
to customize scrolling and other "on-the-fly" actions.
• Use the Scrolling area to specify how quickly you can scroll through layouts and how
layouts update on screen. (Windows only)Check Live Scroll to update the layout view
as you drag the scroll boxes in layout window scroll bars. To turn Live Scroll on and
off while you are scrolling, press Option/Alt as you drag a scroll box.
• Use the Format drop-down menu and the Smart Quotes check box to choose a style
for converting and entering quotation marks. To specify the default characters to be
used with the Smart Quotes feature and with the Convert Quotes option in the
Import dialog box (File > Import), choose an option from the Quotes drop-down
menu. Check Smart Quotes to force the application to automatically replace foot and
inch marks (' and ") with the chosen quotation marks as you type.
• Hyphens and commas are the default separators for indicating sequential and
non-sequential ranges in the Pages field of the Print dialog box for a Print layout. If
you specified commas or hyphens as part of page numbers in the Section dialog box
(Page menu), you need to change the default separators here. For example, if your
page numbers are "A–1, A–2," then you cannot specify ranges in the Pages field using
hyphens. To edit the separators, enter new characters in the Sequential and
Nonsequential fields.
• Mac OS X only: Use the Key Press Activates area to control what the Control key does.
Click Zoom to make the Control key temporarily invoke the Zoom tool . Click
Contextual Menu to make the Control key invoke a context menu. (Control+Shift
performs whichever function is not selected.)
• Windows only: Use the Delay Before Live Refresh Drag field to set the time delay
between clicking and dragging for live refresh. Live refresh shows any runaround
changes caused by the moving item in real time. If this option is checked, you can
activate live refresh by pressing the mouse button until the resize handles disappear
and then dragging the item.
