Table Of Contents
Hyphens and commas are the default separators for indicating sequential and nonsequential
ranges in the Pages field of the Print dialog box for a Print layout. If you specified commas
or hyphens as part of page numbers in the Section dialog box (Page menu), you need to
change the default separators here. For example, if your page numbers are "A1, A2," then
you cannot specify ranges in the Pages field using hyphens. To edit the separators, enter
new characters in the Sequential and Nonsequential fields.
Mac OS only: Use the Key Press Activates area to control what the Control key does. Click
Zoom to make the Control key temporarily invoke the Zoom tool . Click Contextual
Menu to make the Control key invoke a context menu. (Control+Shift performs whichever
function is not selected.)
Use the Delay Before Live Refresh Drag field to set the time delay between clicking and
dragging for live refresh. Live refresh shows any runaround changes caused by the moving
item in real time. If this option is checked, you can activate live refresh by pressing the
mouse button until the resize handles disappear and then dragging the item.
Check Drag and Drop Text to cut, copy, and paste text in a story with the mouse rather
than with menu or keyboard commands. On Mac OS, you can temporarily turn on this
feature by holding Control+Command before starting a drag. To cut and paste, select the
text, and then drag it to a new location. To copy and paste, select the text; then press Shift
while you drag it to a new location.
Check Show Tool Tips to display the names of tools or palette icons when you place your
pointer over them.
Check Maintain Picture Box Attributes to make a picture box "remember" its scaling and
other attributes by default when you import a new picture into the box.
By default, you can input text directly into text boxes the same way you would in a
system-supplied input window for East Asian characters. To disable this feature, uncheck
Inline Input.
To also allow OpenType fonts to be scanned when you click Scan Printer in the Fonts
pane of the Print dialog box (File menu), check Enable OTF Printer Font Scan.
Preferences Application Font Fallback
Use the Font Fallback pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to
control what happens when the application opens a project that uses missing fonts.
Check Font Fallback to activate the Font Fallback feature. When this feature is active, if
the application encounters a character it cannot display in the current font, it attempts
to find a font that can display the character.
If the application encounters a missing font when opening a project, it uses the preferences
in this pane to determine which substitute fonts to use.
If you add characters to an exising project and the font cannot support those characters,
the application searches the system for a font that can display the characters.
