TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
You can copy any applied paragraph formats from one paragraph to other
paragraphs in the same box or text chain. To copy applied paragraph formats, select
the paragraph or range of paragraphs that you want to change, then press
Option+/Alt+Shift while clicking anywhere in the paragraph with the formats you
want to copy. Copying paragraph formats in this way will not change any character
attributes.
Controlling alignment
You can choose from seven paragraph alignments: Left, Centered, Right, Justified,
Forced, Towards Spine and Away From Spine. The Forced option aligns all lines
between the left and right indentations, like the Justified option, but also justifies
the last line (if there is a return at the end of the paragraph).
To set the alignment of selected text, do one of the following things:
Choose an alignment from the Style > Alignment submenu. •
Click an alignment icon in the Home tab or the Paragraph tab of the •
Measurements palette.
Use the keyboard commands. •
For facing pages documents, there was no easy way to set the text alignments to
follow the spine- requiring that different paragraph styles were defined for recto and
verso pages and many users requested for an option in paragraph style to let text
align towards the spine or away from the spine. QuarkXPress 2019 introduces these
options as part of paragraph alignment enhancement.
How it works
You will find the following new text alignment settings in the paragraph style sheet
and measurements palette:
Towards Spine •
Away From Spine •
Text alignment changes in case of Towards Spine and Away from Spine are visible in
case of a facing page layout.
