Project preferences
The Project panes in the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences)
affect all layouts in the active project. However, if you change project preferences
with no projects open, the new preferences become the default settings for all new
projects.

(QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to specify default settings for auto picture import, single
layout mode, and OpenType kerning (for OpenType fonts).
Use the Auto Picture Import drop-down menu to control whether the application
automatically updates pictures that have been modified since you last opened a
layout.
To enable the Auto Picture Import feature, choose On. When you open a•
project, the application automatically re-imports modified pictures.
To disable the Auto Picture Import feature, choose Off.•
To display an alert before the application imports modified pictures, choose•
Verify.
