• Check Drag and Drop Text to cut, copy, and paste text in a story with the mouse
rather than with menu or keyboard commands. On Mac OS X, you can temporarily
turn on this feature by holding Control+Command before starting a drag. To cut and
paste, select the text, and then drag it to a new location. To copy and paste, select the
text; then press Shift while you drag it to a new location.
• Check Show Tool Tips to display the names of tools or palette icons when you place
your pointer over them.
• Check Maintain Picture Box Attributes to make a picture box "remember" its scaling
and other attributes by default when you import a new picture into the box.
• (Windows only) By default, you can input text directly into text boxes the same way
you would in a system-supplied input window for East Asian characters. To disable
this feature, uncheck Inline Input.
• (Windows only) To also allow OpenType fonts to be scanned when you click Scan
Printer in the Fonts pane of the Print dialog box (File menu), check Enable OTF
Printer Font Scan.
Preferences — Application — Font Fallback
Use the Font Fallback pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu)
to control what happens when the application opens a project that uses missing fonts.
Check Font Fallback to activate the Font Fallback feature. When this feature is active,
if the application encounters a character it cannot display in the current font, it
attempts to find a font that can display the character.
If the application encounters a missing font when opening a project, it uses the
preferences in this pane to determine which substitute fonts to use.
If you add characters to an existing project and the font cannot support those
characters, the application searches the system for a font that can display the characters.
Check Search to have the application search for a suitable font that is used in the
active story. To restrict the search to a particular range, check Last and then enter a
number in the Paragraphs field. To expand the search to the entire story where a
missing font occurs, check Active Story.
To indicate which fallback fonts should be used when no other font can be found
(taking the Search settings into account), choose an option in the Font column for
each script/language listed in the Script/Lang column.
To indicate which font should be used for the slug line when a layout is printed with
registration marks turned on, choose an option from the Slug Line Font drop-down
menu.
Preferences — Application — Undo
Windows only.
Use the Undo pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to control
Multiple Undo options.
