Check Search to have the application search for a suitable font that is used in the active
story. To restrict the search to a particular range, check Last and then enter a number in
the Paragraphs field. To expand the search to the entire story where a missing font occurs,
check Active Story.
To indicate which fallback fonts should be used when no other font can be found (taking
the Search settings into account), choose an option in the Font column for each
script/language listed in the Script/Lang column.
To indicate which font should be used for the slug line when a layout is printed with
registration marks turned on, choose an option from the Slug Line Font drop-down menu.
Preferences — Application — Undo
Use the Undo pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to control
Multiple Undo options.
• Use the Redo Key drop-down menu to specify which keyboard command invokes the
Redo command.
• Use the Maximum History Actions field to specify the number of actions that you can
store in your undo history. The undo history can hold as many as 30 actions; the default
setting is 20.
Preferences — Application — Open and Save
Use the Open and Save pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to
customize how the application saves and performs backups.
• Check Auto Save to protect your work from system or power failure. When this option is
checked, the application automatically records changes to a temporary file in your project
folder after a specified time interval. Enter the interval (in minutes) in the Every minutes
field. You can specify a minimum time interval of .25 minutes. When Auto Save is checked,
the default setting is Every 5 minutes. The application does not overwrite the original
file until you manually save (File > Save). When you open the project after a system
interruption, the application displays an alert indicating that the project will be restored
to the last auto-saved version.
• Check Auto Backup and enter a value in the Keep revisions field to retain as many as
100 revisions of a project. Each time you manually save (File > Save), the application
copies the previous manually saved version to the Destination folder you specify. The
default setting for Auto Backup is unchecked. Click Project Folder to store revisions in
the same folder with the project. Click Other Folder and then click Browse to choose a
different folder for storing revisions. Consecutive numbers are added to the file name for
each backup. When the last revision is created (for example, 5 of 5), the oldest revision in
the folder is deleted. To retrieve a backup from the destination folder, simply open the
revision file.
• Check Save Layout Position if you want the application to automatically remember the
size, position, and proportions of your project window.
