Palette groups and palette sets
QuarkXPress offers two features that help you to manage palettes: palette groups and
palette sets.
Using palette groups
The Palette Groups feature lets you combine several palettes into one.
This palette group shows the Style Sheets, Colors, and Lists palettes attached as one, which
economizes space while providing easy access to functions.
To attach a palette to a palette group, Control+click/right-click the title bar of a palette
group and choose an unchecked palette name. When you attach a palette that is already
displayed, the palette moves to become part of the palette group. To detach a palette from
a palette group, Control+click/right-click the palette name and choose Detach [palette
name].
Using palette sets
The Palette Sets feature lets you store and recall the position and status of all open palettes
and libraries, so that you can easily switch between different palette configurations.
To create a palette set, first display all of the palettes you will need for a particular task
and hide all other palettes. Then choose Window > Palette Sets > Save Palette Set As to
display the Save Palette Set As dialog box, enter a name, and optionally assign a key
command.
