the fraction. Examples of fractions that could be formatted are: 11/42, 131/416, and
11/4x.
To convert characters into a fraction, select the characters and choose Style > Type
Style > Make Fraction.
The characters in the fraction are converted using Baseline Shift and the formatting
specified in the Fraction/Price tab of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Application > Fraction/Price).
Make Price
The Make Price command (Style > Type Style) enables you to format prices
automatically. This command is available when text that can be formatted as a price
(such as $1.49, £20.00, and a.bc) is selected or the cursor is adjacent to (and on the
same line as) any of the characters. A price must contain a radix (decimal symbol),
which is indicated by a period or comma. Characters before and after the radix can
be only letters or numbers.
To convert characters to a price, select the characters you want to format and
choose Style > Type Style > Make Price.
When you apply Make Price, QuarkXPress automatically applies the superior type
style to the characters that follow the radix.
The appearance of converted fractions and prices is determined by the values and
selections entered in the Fraction/Price tab of the Preferences dialog box (Edit >
Preferences > Application > Fraction/Price).
Word Space Tracking
The Word Space Tracking feature enables you to apply tracking to word spaces only.
(Tracking values are normally applied between both characters and words.) This
feature can only be accessed through keyboard commands.
Word Space Tracking is applied by applying manual kerning after each selected 
space. To remove Word Space Tracking, select the text and then choose Style >
Remove Manual Kerning
Line Check
Use the Line Check feature to find widows, orphans, loosely justified lines, lines
that end with a hyphen, and text box overflow. Line Check (Utilities > Line
Check) moves through a document, highlighting questionable lines.
To specify what Line Check should look for, display the Search Criteria dialog box
(Utilities > Line Check > Search Criteria) and check the categories of undesirable
typography you want to search for:
Loose Justification is a justified line containing word or character spaces that •
exceed the maximum word or character space values in the hyphenation and
justification specifications applied to the paragraph.
An Auto Hyphenated line ends with a hyphen placed by the automatic •
hyphenation function.
