If you drag content onto a box that already contains text or a picture, QuarkXPress creates
a new box for the dragged content. To replace the contents of the box instead, press
Command/Ctrl while dragging the content to the box. To always create a new box for
dragged-in content, press Option/Alt while dragging.
If all the imported text does not fit in the text box, the overflow symbol displays. If Auto
Page Insertion (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Preferences > General pane) is enabled,
pages are inserted (when you import text into an automatic text box) as necessary to
contain the text.
To export text, first either place the text insertion point in a text box (if you want to save
all of the text in that box) or select the text you want to export. Then choose File > Save
Text, choose an option from the Format pop-up menu, enter a name, choose a location,
and then click Save.
To export in .docx format, choose Word Document from the Format drop-down menu.
To export in .doc format, choose Microsoft Word 97/98/2000.
