TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
If you do not set custom tabs, the application sets default left-aligned tabs every 
half-inch.
To apply tabs to selected paragraphs: Use the controls in the Tabs tab of the
Measurements palette. Using the Measurements palette conserves screen space,
and you continuously see the effects updated as you change tab settings. You can
drag tab icons to the ruler or drag tab icons directly into text. When you are
dragging tabs to the ruler or to text, a vertical line displays on screen to help you
decide where to position the tab.
Controlling widow and orphan lines
Widows and orphans are two kinds of typographically undesirable lines.
Traditionally, a widow is defined as the last line of a paragraph that falls at the top
of a column. An orphan is the first line of a paragraph that falls at the bottom of a
column.
Using the Keep Lines Together feature, you can choose not to break paragraphs, so
that if all the lines in a paragraph do not fit in a column or on a page, the whole
paragraph will flow to the top of the next column or page. Alternatively, you can
specify the number of lines that must be left at the bottom of a column or box, and
at the top of the following column or box, when a paragraph is broken. Using the
Keep with Next ¶ feature, you can keep a paragraph together with the paragraph
that follows it. This lets you keep a subhead together with the paragraph that
follows it, or keep other lines of text that logically go together from being separated.
It is common to specify Keep with Next ¶ for headline and subhead style sheets
and specify Keep Lines Together (usually with Start and End parameters) for body
text style sheets.
To turn the Keep Lines Together and Keep with Next ¶ features on or off for
selected paragraphs, use the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette.
Break options in Paragraph Style
If you’re working on automation workflows or Books (Digital Publishing with long
documents), you may need to specify the beginning of paragraphs on any article
(odd-even page or new page).
This long demanded feature is now available in QuarkXPress 2021.
Now, in the paragraph style sheet, there is an option to define the Break option
which is called the Start Paragraph.
