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.
• Use the Redo Key drop-down menu to specify which keyboard command invokes
the Redo command.
• Use the Maximum History Actions field to specify the number of actions that
you can store in your undo history. The undo history can hold as many as 100
actions.
Preferences — Application — Open and Save
Use the Open and Save pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu)
to customize how the application saves and performs backups.
• Check Auto Save to protect your work from system or power failure. When this
option is checked, the application automatically records changes to a temporary
file in your project folder after a specified time interval. Enter the interval (in
minutes) in the Every minutes field. You can specify a minimum time interval
of .25 minutes. When Auto Save is checked, the default setting is Every 5 minutes.
The application does not overwrite the original file until you manually save (File >
Save). When you open the project after a system interruption, the application
displays an alert indicating that the project will be restored to the last auto-saved
version.
• Check Auto Backup and enter a value in the Keep revisions field to retain as
many as 100 revisions of a project. Each time you manually save (File > Save),
the application copies the previous manually saved version to the Destination
folder you specify. The default setting for Auto Backup is unchecked. Click Project
Folder to store revisions in the same folder with the project. Click Other Folder
and then click Browse to choose a different folder for storing revisions.
Consecutive numbers are added to the file name for each backup. When the last
revision is created (for example, 5 of 5), the oldest revision in the folder is deleted.
To retrieve a backup from the destination folder, simply open the revision file.
• Check Save Layout Position if you want the application to automatically
remember the size, position, and proportions of your project window.
