• If you add, delete, or rename a master page in a layout family, the master page is added,
deleted, or renamed in all of the layouts in that layout family.
• If you add pages to one of a layout family's layouts with a particular master page, pages
with that same master page are added to the other layouts in the layout family.
• If you apply a master page to a layout page in one of a layout family's layouts, that
master page is not applied to the corresponding pages in the layout family's other
layouts. This allows you to use different master pages for the vertical and horizontal
versions of a page in a layout family.
• If you make a change to a given master page in one of a layout family's layouts, that
change is not reflected in the same-named master pages in the other layouts. This
allows you to customize master pages for each of a layout family's page designs.
Working with layers
The Layers palette is the "control center" for layers. You can hide, show, lock, or unlock
layers with a single click in this palette. You also can use this palette to specify the
active layer (where newly drawn objects will go), to rearrange the stacking order of
layers, to merge layers, and to move objects from one layer to another.
Each layer you create has a unique color swatch in the Layers palette. When you create
an item on a layer, the item's bounding box and handles use that layer's color.
To display the Layers palette, choose View > Layers.
You can work with layers in the Layers palette.
Every layout has a Default layer. You can add and remove items from the Default
layer, but you cannot delete the Default layer. When you open a layout that was
created with a version of QuarkXPress prior to 5.0, all items display on the Default
layer.
A layout can contain up to 256 layers, including the Default layer.
Understanding layers
A QuarkXPress layer is like a clear overlay that covers every page in a layout. You can
put almost anything on a layer, including picture boxes, text boxes, lines, tables,
interactive objects, and any other kind of QuarkXPress item.
Layers can be useful in many different ways:
