Index

Any changes you make to the settings in Group A while no projects are open are stored

in the preferences files and are used for all subsequently created projects.

If the Nonmatching Preferences alert displays when you open a project and you click

Use XPress Preferences, subsequent changes you make to the settings in Group A are

saved to both the project and the preferences files. (The project's original Group A settings

are discarded when you click Use XPress Preferences.)

If the Nonmatching Preferences alert displays when you open a project, and you click

Keep Document Settings, subsequent changes you make to the settings in Group A are

saved only with the project.

Group B

Group B contains the following information:

• Default style sheets, colors, dashes and frames, lists, and hyphenation and justification

specifications (Edit menu)

• Settings in the Project panes of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit >

Preferences)

• Path information for the default auxiliary dictionary (Utilities > Auxiliary Dictionary)

Any changes you make to the settings in Group B while no projects are open are stored

in the preferences files and are used for all subsequently created projects. Any changes you

make to the settings in Group B while a project is open are saved with that project only.

Group C

Group C contains the following information:

• Output styles (Edit > Output Styles)

• Settings in the XTensions Manager and PPD Manager dialog boxes (Utilities menu)

• Settings in the Application panes of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit >

Preferences)

Any changes you make to the settings in Group C are always stored in the preferences,

whether or not a project is open.

Application preferences

The controls in the Application panes of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit >

Preferences) affect the way QuarkXPress works with all projects, including how projects

are displayed and saved. These settings are saved with the application and are never saved

with projects.
