points to +63 points using any measurement system. Entering "+5" will add 5 points
of leading to the base amount of auto leading; entering "+5 mm" will add 5 millimeters.
Use the Maintain Leading check box to control the placement of a line of text that
falls immediately below an obstruction in a column or box. If Maintain Leading is
checked, the line's baseline is placed according to its applied leading value. If Maintain
Leading is unchecked, the ascent of the line will abut the bottom of the obstruction
or any applied runaround value (Item > Runaround).
In the Lock to Grid Based On area:
• Click Ascent and Descent to lock text to grid based on the ascenders and
descenders of characters.
• Click Font Size (Em Box) to lock text to grid based on the size of the em boxes
of the characters.
For each language in the Hyphenation list, use the Method drop-down menu in the
Hyphenation area to specify the method QuarkXPress uses to automatically hyphenate
paragraphs when no corresponding entry is found in your Hyphenation Exceptions
dictionary. The setting you choose affects only paragraphs for which Auto
Hyphenation (Edit > H&Js) is enabled:
• Choose Standard to hyphenate using the algorithm built into versions of
QuarkXPress prior to 3.1.
• The Enhanced and the Extended, 3.3 Compatible options are only available
if any legacy project having any of these hyphenation methods applied for
any language is opened in QuarkXPress 2016. This option is not available
for new projects.
• Extended 2 uses the Dieckmann exception resources and algorithm for
hyphenation. If available for a language, it is the default method for projects
created in QuarkXPress.
Preferences — Layout — Character
Use the Sharing pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to set
the default options for new shared content. Use the Character pane of the Preferences
dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to specify how QuarkXPress constructs
typographic styles such as Superscript and Subscript:
• Use the Superscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of superscript
characters. The Offset value determines how far below the baseline QuarkXPress
places a superscript character. The Offset value is measured as a percentage of
font size. The default value is 33%. The VScale value determines the vertical size
of the character and is a percentage of font size. The HScale value determines
width and is a percentage of the normal character width (as specified by the font
designer). The default value for both scales is 60% (range = 0 to 100%,
measurement system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Subscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of subscript
characters. The Offset value determines how far above the baseline QuarkXPress
places a subscript character. The Offset value is measured as a percentage of font
size. The default value is 33%. The VScale value determines the vertical size of
