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 224" x 224" in size (or 112" x 224" 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. To indicate the type of the default layout, choose Print, App Studio, or ebook (ePub, Kindle) from the Layout Type drop-down menu. For more information about App Studio layouts, see A Guide to App Studio. For more information about creating layouts for ePub export, see "eBooks.
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 3 Choose New from the Page Size: drop-down menu. The Custom Page Size dialog box displays. 4 Fill in a Name for the new custom page size, and define the Width and Height. The orientation will be assigned automatically, depending on the values input for Width and Height. To create multiple custom page sizes, click Add. The new custom page size will appear in the list and you will be able to create another. To delete a custom page size, select it from the list and click Delete..
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS 5 Click OK. Any custom page sizes you create will appear in the Page Size drop-down menu in the New Project and the New Layout dialog boxes and can be selected when creating new Print and eBook layouts, however, custom page sizes defined for Print layouts can only be used selected when creating new Print layouts, and custom page sizes defined for eBook layouts can only be used selected when creating new eBook layouts.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS When you check spelling (Utilities menu), QuarkXPress checks only the active layout. The Find/Change feature (Edit menu) can search only the active layout. Project-level and layout-level resources Some resources are defined at the project level, and others are defined at the layout level. Project-level resources Project-level resources can be used by every layout in the project, and they are the same in every layout where they are used.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS QuarkXPress automatically places column guides and margin guides in all new Print layouts. You can specify their position in the Column Guides and Margin Guides fields in the New Project dialog box (File > New > Project) or in the New Layout dialog box (Layout > New). When a master page is displayed in the project window, you can use the Master Guides & Grid dialog box (Page > Master Guides & Grid) to change the placement of column guides and margin guides.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS To control snapping with QuarkXPress controls, make sure View > Snap to Guides is checked. To specify the distance, choose QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Print Layout > Guides & Grid and enter a pixel value in the Snap Distance field. You can also choose View > Snap to Page Grids to force items to align with the master page grid. The value in the Snap Distance field applies to master page grids as well. For more information, see "Snapping items to design grids.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS Guides Color." In Mac OS X you set the color for the dyanamic guides using the Color Theme pane of the Preferences dialog box. See "Preferences — Application — Color Theme." Undoing and redoing actions The Undo command (Edit menu) reverses the last action performed on an item. For example, if you accidentally cut a picture box, the Undo command will bring the picture box back into the layout from the Clipboard. The Redo command (Edit menu) lets you reimplement an action you had undone.
CONTENT VARIABLES Content variables A content variable is an item you insert in your document that varies according to the context. For example, the Last Page Number variable displays the page number of the last page of the document. If you add or remove pages, the variable is updated accordingly.

The variable appears on the page as if you'd typed it in the document. You can select View > Highlight Content Variables to highlight all content variable in the current project.
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 Curve handles (upper left) Line segments: Line segments are straight or curved line sections positioned between two points: Line segments When the Select Point tool is positioned over an active Bézier box or line, various pointers display indicating whether you can select a point, the curve handles, or a line segment. Click and drag using the pointers to reshape the Bézier box or line. • To change the shape entirely, choose a different option from the Item > Shape submenu.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • To select curves or points so that you can move them or delete them, use the Select Point tool . Press Shift and click to select multiple points. Option+click/Alt+click a point to make it symmetrical. To pan the layout while a Pen tool is selected, press Shift+Space and then click and drag. Drop Shadow XTensions software With Drop Shadow XTensions software, you can apply automatic feathered drop shadows to items and text in a layout.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • Runaround Drop Shadow: Check this to include a drop shadow with the text wrap contour specified in the Runaround pane (Item > Modify). The runaround Outset value is measured from the edges of the drop shadow. For example, if text is wrapping around a rectangular pull-out quote with a drop shadow, text will not overlap the drop shadow when Runaround Drop Shadow is checked.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • Tabs across the top display the type of attributes you can search for: Box, Box Color, Frame, Line, Picture, Text, and Drop Shadow. The attributes in each pane correspond to attributes in the Modify dialog box (Item menu) for each type of item. • Each pane contains two sides: Find What and Change To. You check the attributes you're searching for on the Find What side, and then check those attributes you want to change on the Change To side of the palette.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES To change a no-content box into a text box, press Command+E/Alt+E and import a text file. 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.
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 Using Super Step and Repeat Use Super Step and Repeat to quickly and easily duplicate items while rotating, scaling, or skewing them. To use Super Step and Repeat: 1 Select a picture box, text box, text path, or line. • To specify the number of times you want the item to be duplicated, enter a number from 1 to 100 in the Repeat Count field. • To specify the horizontal placement of copies relative to the original item, enter a value in the Horizontal Offset field.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES The ShapeMaker dialog box provides tabs that let you create various types of shapes. All of the tabs have the following controls: • Item: Lets you choose whether you want to create a text box, picture box, no-content box, text path, or rule path. • Width and Height: Lets you specify the width and height of the box or path. If you have an item or items selected when you choose Utilities > ShapeMaker, these values are filled in automatically to match the selected item or items.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES T-B: Applies the Wave 1 setting to the top and bottom of the box. All: Applies the Wave 1 setting to all sides of the box. Keep waves parallel: Keeps waves on either side of the box parallel with one another. The controls in the Wave 1 and Wave 2 areas let you choose which type of wave to use, the frequency of the wave, the phase (starting point) of the wave, and the amplitude (depth) of the wave.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Edges: Lets you control whether the edges of the box are flat or curved. If you choose an option other than Flat, you can indicate the curvature of the sides with the Curvature controls. If you choose one of the Swirl options, you can indicate the direction of the swirl with the Orientation controls. Randomize Points: Lets you control the degree of randomness in the shape, from 0 (none) to 100 (maximum). New Random: Applies some randomness to the shape.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Rectangles tab of ShapeMaker dialog box In this tab, you can separately configure each corner of the box by unchecking Same for all, or check Same for all and configure all four corners with a single set of controls. Whichever way you do it, you can use the drop-down menu to specify a corner type (Normal, Rounded, Beveled, Concave, Pointed, or Inset) and a diameter (for options that involve a diameter).
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES To store all of the settings in all tabs of the ShapeMaker dialog box, enter a name in the Name field and click Save. An entry is added to the list on the left, with an image of the shape from the last tab you were looking at. To load a set of saved settings, select it in the list on the left, click Use Settings, then go to the desired tab and create the shape you want. To replace the settings stored with an entry, select the entry and click Replace.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 4 To finish the line, double-click. When any of the drawing tools are active, you can press Command/Ctrl to temporarily switch to the Select Point tool. When the Select Point tool is active, you can press Command+Option/Ctrl+Alt to temporarily switch to the Item tool. Line modes for straight lines There are four line modes: Endpoints, Left Point, Midpoint, and Right Point.

TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY paths and alpha channels are typically used to determine which parts of an image should be shown and which parts should be hidden or transparent. If you import a picture that has an embedded path or alpha channel, you can use that path or alpha channel to control the way text runs around that picture. More specifically: The application can scan a path or channels and create a text runaround path based on the information.

TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Specifying character language You can specify the language to be used for hyphenation and spell checking by applying a character language to text. This lets you mix words from different languages in the same paragraph without triggering poor hyphenation or more Suspect Words in Spell Check (Utilities menu). In addition to applying a specific language to characters, you can apply None so that a word is not considered for hyphenation or spell checking.
