individual library. A library entry can be a text box, text path, picture box, line,
multiple-selected items, or a group. To move entries in and out of libraries, you simply
drag them or cut/copy and paste them.
Libraries are good for storing items that may be needed at any time in a layout. For
example, corporate logos, legal information, commonly used pictures and text, chart
formats, and clip art are all good candidates for library entries. Items with
hard-to-remember formatting can also be saved in a library.
Use the Library palette's scroll bar to scroll vertically through library entries. Drag the
resize box in the lower-right corner of a Library palette to resize it. You can expand a
Library palette by clicking its zoom box. Click the zoom box again to return to the
previous display.

QuarkXPress libraries are not cross-platform, so libraries must be opened using the
platform on which they were created.
Creating libraries
You can create a new library any time, as long as you have fewer than 25 files open.
To create a new library:
1
Choose File > New > Library.
When you create a new library, it stays open until you manually close it. When you
launch QuarkXPress, any library palettes that were previously open are reopened
automatically and placed in the default library positions.
2
Use the controls in the dialog box to specify a location for the new library file.
