• Hyphens and commas are the default separators for indicating sequential and
non-sequential ranges in the Pages field of the Print dialog box for a Print layout.
If you specified commas or hyphens as part of page numbers in the Section dialog
box (Page menu), you need to change the default separators here. For example,
if your page numbers are "A–1, A–2," then you cannot specify ranges in the Pages
field using hyphens. To edit the separators, enter new characters in the Sequential
and Nonsequential fields.
• Mac OS X only: Use the Key Press Activates area to control what the Control key
does. Click Zoom to make the Control key temporarily invoke the Zoom tool .
Click Contextual Menu to make the Control key invoke a context menu.
(Control+Shift performs whichever function is not selected.)
• Windows only: Use the Delay Before Live Refresh Drag field to set the time delay
between clicking and dragging for live refresh. Live refresh shows any runaround
changes caused by the moving item in real time. If this option is checked, you
can activate live refresh by pressing the mouse button until the resize handles
disappear and then dragging the item.
• 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.
• (Windows only) 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.
