BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES
98 | A Guide to QuarkXPress 2019
When you resize a box using width and height settings on the measurements
palette, it always grows to the right and bottom of the page. The new 9-Point
Reference Grid option in the measurements palette will allow you to change
reference point for all the nine points referred which include a center point: when
you then resize the box, it will resize relative to the selected point.

How it works
On the measurements palette, you can select any of 9-reference points as •
indicated
Once you set a Reference Point, all boxes in that particular layout will work with •
respect to the selected reference point. On creating a new project, the reference
point will be reset to the ‘Top Left’.
Previously, when you rotated any object either manually or by using a mouse, •
the object rotated from the center. In QuarkXPress 2019, the box will rotate
from the selected Reference Point.
