Creating libraries
You can create a new library any time, as long as you have fewer than 25 files open.
To create a new library:
Choose File > New > Library. 1.
When you create a new library, it stays open until you manually close it. When
you launch QuarkXPress, any library palettes that were previously open are
reopened automatically and placed in the default library positions.
Use the controls in the dialog box to specify a location for the new library file. 2.
Enter a name for the library in the Library Name/File name field. 3.
Click Create. 4.
Adding library entries
When you add entries to a library, copies of the items are placed in the library and
displayed as thumbnails. The original items are not removed from the document.
To add entries to an open library:
Select the Item tool . 1.
Select the items or group of items to place in the library. To select multiple 2.
items, press the Shift key while clicking them. However, if you select multiple
items, they will be saved in the library as one entry and not as individual items.
Drag the items or group into the library and release the mouse button when the 3.
Library pointer displays. The library entry is placed between the arrow icons.
Retrieving library entries
To place a library entry into a document, select any tool and click the library entry.
Drag the entry into the document. A copy of the library entry is placed in the
document.
Manipulating library entries
You can rearrange the order of entries within a library, move entries from one
library to another, replace and delete library entries.
To rearrange an entry within a library, click it and drag it to a new position.
To copy an entry from one library into another, click it and drag it to the other
open library.
To replace an entry in a library, select the replacement items in a document;
then choose Edit > Copy. Click the entry in the library to select it and choose
Edit > Paste.
To remove an entry from a library on Mac OS X, click it and choose Edit > Clear,
Edit > Cut, or press Delete. To remove an entry from a library on Windows,
choose Edit (Library palette menu) > Delete or Edit > Cut.
