About this Guide You do not need to read the QuarkXPress® documentation from beginning to end. Instead, use this guide to quickly look up information, find out what you need to know, and get on with your work.
● Arrows: You will often see arrows (>), which map out the menu path to a feature. For example: “Choose Edit > Style Sheets to display the Style Sheets dialog box.” ● Icons: Although many tools and buttons are referenced by name, which you can see by displaying ToolTips, in some cases icons are shown for easy identification. For example, “Click the button on the Measurements palette to center text.” ● Cross-platform issues: This application is quite consistent across operating systems.
QuarkXTensions® (Quark® XTensions software) also provide a modular approach for meeting your particular publishing needs.

Projects and Layouts QuarkXPress files are referred to as projects, and each project contains one or more layouts. Every layout is stored within a project, and every project contains at least one layout. Each layout can contain as many as 2,000 pages, and can be as large as 224” x 224” in size (or 112” x 224” for a two-page spread). A project can contain an unlimited number of layouts.
Every QuarkXPress project contains at least one layout. Therefore, when you create a project, you must specify a default layout for the file. To indicate the media type of the default layout, choose Print or Digital from the Layout Type drop-down menu. You can further choose the Digital layout type, Fixed or Flex from the drop down menu. For more information about Digital layouts, see Digital Publishing with QuarkXPress. For more information about Flex layouts, see Getting Started with Flex Layouts.

Content Variables A content variable is an item you insert in your document that varies according to the context. For example, the Last Page Number variable displays the page number of the last page of the document. If you add or remove pages, the variable is updated accordingly. Content variables will line wrap and break just like text, including hyphenating when appropriate. The text within a content variable is searchable using the Find/Change palette.
that object elsewhere in the document, including the page number for the referred to object. ● Static Text: With this you can create a simple static text variable that can be inserted throughout the document. For example, if you want to refer to a company name across a document consistently and want to make any changes to it in one go, this variable can be useful. Edit content variables To edit content variables, choose Window > Content Variables to display the Content Variables palette.
● Last Page Number: This variable inserts the last page number of the current project into the document. The Last Page Number type is useful for adding the total number of pages in a document to headers and footers using the common Page 3 of 12 format. In this case, the number 12 is generated by the Last Page Number, and is updated whenever pages are added or removed. From the Scope drop-down menu, choose an option to determine whether the last page number in the section or layout is used.
variables are great if you want to use text content somewhere within a text story and the same content in a different story or at a different place. When you change the content of the custom variable, it is changed everywhere where used. To create a custom content variable: 1 Place the insertion point where you want the variable to appear. 2 Select Utilities > Content Variable and choose New from the drop-down menu. The Edit Content Variable dialog displays. 3 Enter a name in the Name field.
6 Click OK. After you have added a custom content variable, it will be listed in the Utilities > Content Variable drop-down menu and also in the Content Variables palette (Window > Content Variables). The new variable will be available when you attempt to insert a content variable into the text. Insert a content variable To insert a content variable in your project: 1 Place the insertion point where you want the variable to appear.
Boxes, Lines, and Tables To create a successful page layout, you need an orderly way to arrange text and pictures — you need boxes. Boxes are items that can contain text or pictures; they can even be created to contain no content at all, perhaps to create colorful design elements on a page. Box boundaries give text and pictures a specific shape, size, and placement on a page. Understanding items and content QuarkXPress works on the concept of items (containers) and content (things that go inside of items).
Understanding handles The bounding boxes of selected text paths, lines, and boxes have small white squares called item handles. You can use these handles to resize and rotate a selected item. Item handles To resize an item, click and drag its item handles. To rotate an item, click and drag just outside one of the item’s corner handles. The mouse pointer changes when you move it over or near a handle to indicate which action you can perform: You can use item handles to resize or rotate an item.
You can use picture content handles to resize or rotate a picture without changing the size or angle of its picture box. ● Resize pointers: ● Rotation pointers: Rotated picture in an unrotated box If you want to move a picture box or see what its crop looks like without the transparent overlay, press the Command/Ctrl key. This temporarily dismisses the overlay and allows you to interact with the box as if the Item tool were selected.
Examples of corner points Smooth point: A smooth point connects two curved lines to form a continuous curve. The curve handles always rest on a straight line through the point, but they can be distanced independently: A smooth point Symmetrical point: A symmetrical point connects two curved lines to form a continuous curve.
Curve handles (upper left) Line segments: Line segments are straight or curved line sections positioned between two points: Line segments When the Select Point tool is positioned over an active Bézier box or line, various pointers display indicating whether you can select a point, the curve handles, or a line segment. Click and drag using the pointers to reshape the Bézier box or line. ● To change the shape entirely, choose a different option from the Item > Shape submenu.
● To move a point or change the shape of a line segment while working with the Bézier Pen tool , Command+drag/Ctrl+drag the point or line segment. ● To select curves or points so that you can move them or delete them, use the Select Point tool . Press Shift and click to select multiple points. Option+click/Alt+click a point to make it symmetrical. To pan the layout while a Pen tool is selected, press Shift+Space and then click and drag.
● Inherit Item’s Opacity: Check this to have the drop shadow reflect different opacities in the item, such as differences in the box background and border. ● Item Knocks Out Drop Shadow: Check this to prevent a shadow from displaying through semi-opaque areas of an item — to keep a shadow from peeping through its box, for example. ● Runaround Drop Shadow: Check this to include a drop shadow with the text wrap contour specified in the Runaround tab.
Item Find/Change does not support tables. The Item Find/Change palette works as follows: ● Tabs across the top display the type of attributes you can search for: Box, Box Color, Border, Line, Picture, Text, and Drop Shadow. ● Each pane contains two sides: Find What and Change To. You check the attributes you’re searching for on the Find What side, and then check those attributes you want to change on the Change To side of the palette. You can search on attributes in multiple panes at the same time.
● When you click Find Next, Item Find/Change searches the entire layout from start to finish. To limit a search to the active spread, Option/Alt+click the Find Next button. Integration of Custom Border Styles with Item Find/Change Custom Border Styles in Item Find/Change: Now a user can find and replace the custom border style through Item Find/Change palette.
blends, and borders. When you draw a text box, picture box, or no-content box, the available controls correspond to the box type you create. But you can import text into picture boxes that contain pictures, and you can import pictures into text boxes that contain text. In addition to changing content type, you can change the shape and other attributes of a box.
1 Select the Bézier Pen tool from the Tools palette. Move the Crosshair pointer to any position on the page and click to establish the first point. 2 Move the pointer to where you want the next point positioned. To constrain pointer movement to a 45-degree angle relative to the page, press Shift. 3 Click to create points and line segments. ● Clicking a point without dragging creates a straight line and corner point.
9-Point Reference Grid in the measurement palette 9-Point Reference Grid during box rotation How it works ● On the measurements palette, you can select any of 9-reference points as indicated. ● Once you set a Reference Point, all boxes in that particular layout will work with respect to the selected reference point. On creating a new project, the reference point will be reset to the ‘Top Left’.
● Previously, when you rotated any object either manually or by using a mouse, the object rotated from the center. In QuarkXPress 2019, the box will rotate from the selected Reference Point. Resizing boxes You can resize any box by modifying the size of its bounding box. A bounding box is a non-printing, rectangular shape that encloses every box. The box’s item handles demarcate the bounding box. The best way to view the bounding box clearly is to use the Item tool to select item handles on a Bézier box.
Auto grow values defined in measurement palette How it works ● You can now set Width/Height of box to Auto or Fixed through measurements palette. Locking box and picture proportions To lock the selected box’s proportions, display the Home tab of the Measurements palette and click the proportion lock control next to the W and H fields. If this control is locked, QuarkXPress maintains the item’s aspect ratio during resizing operations.
Reshaping boxes You can change the shape of a box in three ways: ● You can change the shape entirely by choosing a different option from the Item > Shape submenu. ● You can use the Box Corner Radius field in the Home or Space/Align tab of the Measurements palette. Enter the value manually or place the cursor in the fields and use the up/down arrow keys to automatically increase/decrease the value.
● Display the Colors palette (Window > Colors), click the Background Color button , and then use the controls in the palette. ● Use the controls in the Home tab of the Measurements palette. The controls available are as follows: ● Box or Background Color: Lets you specify the background color for the box. ● Shade: Lets you specify the tint of the background color (0% = white, 100% = full color).
To merge two or more text boxes and preserve the text, see “Merging text boxes. QuarkXPress has new tools on measurements palette, whose icons graphically depict the merge or split behavior, making them more intuitive for designers to easily access and create complex shapes with the combination of two or more shapes. Merge and Split icons in the measurement palette ● Intersection: Keeps only the overlapping areas of the selected items.
Merging text boxes To merge two or more text boxes, preserving the text: 1 Select the text boxes you want to merge. 2 Choose Item > Merge Text Boxes and choose one of the following from the sub menu: ● Top Down - to merge the text in the boxes in the order they appear on the layout (Left-to-Right and then Top-to-Bottom). ● Selection Order - to merge the text in the boxes in the order that you selected the boxes. 3 The text in the boxes is merged and contained in a single box.
Creating a box from a clipping path If a picture box has an associated clipping path (embedded or automatically created), you can create a new box that has the shape of that clipping path by selecting the picture box and choosing Item > New Box From Clipping. Copying attributes from one box to another To copy all of the attributes applied to a box and apply them to a different box: 1 Select the Item Format Painter tool on the Tool palette.
Using Super Step and Repeat Use Super Step and Repeat to quickly and easily duplicate items while rotating, scaling, or skewing them. To use Super Step and Repeat: 1 Select a picture box, text box, text path, or line. ● To specify the number of times you want the item to be duplicated, enter a number from 1 to 100 in the Repeat Count field. ● To specify the horizontal placement of copies relative to the original item, enter a value in the Horizontal Offset field.
Rotate & Scale Relative To drop-down menu only when a point on a Bezier item is selected. 2 Click OK. ShapeMaker With ShapeMaker, you can create a wide variety of intricate shapes.

To constrain pointer movement to a 45-degree angle relative to the page, press Shift. 3 Click to create a point and line segments. ● To make a curved line segment, click and drag wherever you want the next point positioned. A point with two curve handles displays. You can control the curve’s size and shape by dragging a curve handle. ● To make a corner point, press Option/Alt before you click.
Resizing lines You can resize active straight lines using any of the following methods: ● Select the Item tool and move the Arrow pointer over an item handle to display the Resizing pointer. Click and drag the handle to a new location to reduce or extend the length of the line. ● Choose either Left Point, Midpoint, or Right Point from the Line Mode dropdown menu in the Home or Space/Align tab of the Measurements palette to display the L (Length) field.
You can also specify line appearance in an Item Style. For more about Item Styles, see “Item Styles XTensions software.” Joining lines You can merge two lines into one by selecting the Item tool , selecting the lines, and choosing Item > Merge > Join Endpoints. The Join Endpoints command is available when the endpoints of lines or text paths are within six points of each other.
Make any changes you want to the line attributes and click OK. The new attributes are added to the Item Form Painter tool, but are not applied to the selected line. 3 Select any other line to apply the copied attributes. To uncheck Apply check box for all panes in the Item Font Painter tool, hold down the Shift+ Opt/Alt as you select the line. To uncheck all options in any pane in the Item Font Painter tool, Opt/Alt click on the Apply check box.
Manipulating items Items can be cut and then pasted in new locations, locked so they cannot move, duplicated once or many times, stacked to create unusual visual effects, and manipulated in other ways. Selecting items To manipulate items, you must first select them. Once selected, most kinds of items display outlines and handles for reshaping. To select an item, first select the Item tool , the Text Content tool , or the Picture Content tool and move the Arrow pointer over an item.
When the Item tool is selected, you can remove items with the Delete command. Deleted items are not copied to the Clipboard. Controlling the stacking order of items When two or more items overlap, each is either positioned in front of or behind the other item. The term “stacking order” refers to the front-to-back relationship of the various items on a page. Each item you create occupies its own level in the stacking order. Every new item you create becomes the front item.
Shift+click each item or draw a marquee around the items you want to group. Choose Item > Group (Command+G/Ctrl+G) to place multiple selected items into a single group. You can group groups, and multiple-select a group (or groups) along with individual boxes, lines, and text paths to create a larger group. With the Item tool selected, you can move, cut, copy, paste, duplicate, rotate, and color a group.
You can choose from among eight spacing and six alignment options in the Measurements palette, and you can specify alignment relative to selected items, the page, or (for Print layouts with facing pages) the spread. The Item > Space/Align submenu includes the “Item relative” and “Page relative” modes described below. The Measurements palette also includes a third mode called “Spread relative.
Use keyboard increments to automatically increase/decrease the value in this field. See “Palettes“ for more information. Locking and unlocking items Locking lets you protect items and content from accidental changes. You can do the following: ● To prevent an item’s size and position from being changed (and to prevent the item from being deleted), check Item > Lock > Position. ● To prevent an item’s contents from being edited, check Item > Lock > Story or Item > Lock > Picture.
Understanding callouts A callout is a floating box that always displays on the same page or spread as the content it pertains to. Each callout is anchored to a particular spot in a text story called a callout anchor. A callout anchor flows along with text like a character. When a callout anchor moves to a new page or spread, the callout moves with it. When guides are displayed, a line links each callout anchor with its associated callout (if any).
Settings for a callout with a fixed horizontal location and a variable vertical location It is important to note that the settings for a callout are stored with its callout anchor, not with the callout itself You can control the positioning of a callout by configuring its callout anchor directly, or by applying a callout style to the callout anchor. A callout style is a named package of callout settings that displays in a palette.
You can think of callout styles as similar to style sheets (for more information, see “Working with style sheets“). Like style sheets and other resources, callout styles can be managed with Job Jackets (for more information, see “Job Jackets“). A callout anchor can be selected or unselected. When a callout anchor is selected, it has a red outline and its callout style (if any) is selected in the Callout Styles palette.
5 Configure the callout anchor. There are two ways to configure a callout anchor: ● To apply a callout style to the callout anchor, display the Callout Styles palette (Window menu) and click the name of the callout style, or choose Item > Callout Anchor > Callout Styles > [Callout Style Name]. For more information, see “Working with callout styles.” ● To edit the settings of the callout anchor directly, choose Item > Callout Anchor > Edit Callout Settings.
3 To control how the callout aligns vertically, use the controls in the Align callout vertically relative to area. (The Offset field lets you adjust the vertical positioning of the callout from where it would otherwise be.) 4 To allow the callout to be manually repositioned, check Allow manual positioning of callout. If you subsequently move the callout, the values in the Offset fields will be automatically updated to reflect the new position of the callout.
to return to the previous page, which causes the callout to return to the previous page, and so on. When QuarkXPress detects this kind of a situation, the following things happen: 1 The callout switches to the settings defined in the Default callout style. An icon displays next to the callout style’s name in the Callout Styles palette when the callout anchor is selected.
The Table Properties dialog box 2 Specify the number of horizontal rows in the Body Rows field, and specify the number of vertical columns in the Columns field. 3 Specify the number of header rows in the Header Rows field, and specify the number of footer rows in the Footer Rows field. 4 If you want to create text cells that expand as you add text, use the controls in the Auto Fit area.
common for users to use multiple tab characters in a word processor to align columns of data — rather than setting appropriate tab stops. If the text block you are converting has such multiple tab characters, the text block probably has an inconsistent number of tabs between columns of data. You will need to make the tab characters consistent before you convert the text to a table. To convert text to a table: 1 Using the Text Content tool , select all the text you want to convert to a table.
New Table Model with Table Styles Formatting tables in QuarkXPress has been time-taking and required repetitive efforts for each table you inserted in a document. The table grid formatting options were limited to rows and columns with no option for cell level border and shading. QuarkXPress 2019 introduces a new table model , offering brandnew table features with an intuitive new user interface for formatting tables and creating table styles.
In Table Styles, you can now capture newly introduced styling rules for table, row, column and cell level formatting along with text styling rules. (in previous versions, table styles support was limited to Inline tables linked to Excel tables only). With the new table model, you can now apply Table Styles to any table created in QuarkXPress directly or imported from Excel source.

Although you can update tables just as you can update pictures, you’ll need to keep the following points in mind: ● If you check Include Formats in the Table Link dialog box when you first import an Excel table, the table’s Excel formatting is preserved (as much as possible) in QuarkXPress. If you later update the table, any local formatting you have applied in QuarkXPress is removed and replaced with the formatting from the Excel file.
The Table Link dialog box 4 You can Browse to the location of the source document, select the worksheet containing the table you wish to import, and select the range of cells to import. 5 If the file includes multiple worksheets, choose the one you want to import from the Sheet drop-down menu. If you want to import only a portion of the data, you can specify a cell range in the Range field or choose a named range from the drop-down menu.
9 You can also choose to apply either a preset Table style or a custom created Table style from the “Table Style” drop down on the imported Excel data. 10 Click OK. Formulas and references are not imported. Instead, the final values that result from formulas and references are imported. Inserted pictures are not imported. Text with Auto Filter or Advance Filter (Data > Filter) applied is imported as static text.
● Press Shift+Tab to go back to the previous cell. ● Press the arrow keys to move through the text in a cell, and to move from cell to cell. To enter a tab character in a text cell, press Control+Tab. To enter a rightindent tab, press Option+Tab/Control+Shift+Tab. If you need to align numbers within a table on the decimal point or other character, you can insert tabs in each table cell and then specify the appropriate Align On tab stops (Style > Tabs).
● To link table cells to text boxes or text paths, use the Linking tool . If you combine linked text cells (Table > Combine Cells), the combined cells are removed from the text chain; the remaining links are unaffected. If a combined cell is split (Table > Split Cell), the links are maintained and text flows according to the specified Link Order. Inserting and deleting rows and columns You can insert rows and columns anywhere within a table.
Converting tables back to text If you need to export the current data from a table — for example, to save the data as a Word file — you can convert the information to text. To do so, select the table and then choose Table > Convert Table > To Text. Working with tables and groups For flexibility, you can group tables to other items using the Group command (Item menu). In addition, you can disassemble a table by converting its cells to a series of grouped text boxes, picture boxes, or both.
2 Select the table with the Item tool . 3 Choose Edit > Cut. 4 Select the Text Content tool want the table to be. and place the text insertion point where you 5 Choose Edit > Paste. At this point, the table will break automatically as it flows through the text. However, it will not have a header unless you add it. For more information, see “Adding header and footer rows to tables.
3 You can specify the number of header rows by entering a value in the Header Rows field. (For more information, see “Adding header and footer rows to tables.”) 4 If the table has a header, you can check Continued Header to create a different version of the header that displays in continued instances of a table. For example, if the header on the first portion of the table is “List of Contributors,” the continued header might be “List of Contributors (continued).
In this continued table, the first two rows — the table heading and the column heads — repeat as header rows in the continued instances of the table. The first row is a continued header. To add header and footer rows to a table: 1 Set up the table to break. For more information, see “Breaking a table manually” and “Anchoring tables in text.
To create a secondary header that displays in portions of a table after the first, check Continued Header. For example, if the header on the first portion of the table is “List of Contributors”, the continued header might be “List of Contributors (continued).” Click First Header Row to limit the continued header to the first header row, or All Header Rows to create continued headers from all header rows. When you’re finished, click OK.

Applying character attributes QuarkXPress lets you maintain precise, character-by-character control over text formatting. Applying a font To apply a font to selected text, do one of the following things: ● Choose a font family and a font style from the Font drop-down menus in the Home or Character tab of the Measurements palette.
But, many of the font families had more than a single font style which mapped to the same font face like Bold, SemiBold, Condensed Bold, Heavy, Black font styles which map to Bold. In such cases, if the user clicked the bold button to apply bold styling, there was no standard mechanism to identify which of the bold face font styles should be selected.
In QuarkXPress 2019, version 15.0.1, the font styling behavior has been changed with respect to key commands. In large font families, while applying bold/italic styling through key command, it will only search for the bold/italic style from within the current sub font family. If the sub font family has a font style corresponding to that font face, then the font style will be selected, otherwise, the key command will be ignored.
● If the user changes the applied font style in case of faux style, then the faux style will not available in the font style pop up to the user. But, if you undo the style change action, the faux style will be reverted. ● Faux styling applied on the text is preserved on copy-pasting and drag-drop text/text boxes within the same project and across projects; on appending layout and on appending style sheet having the faux style applied.
Avenir LT Std Heavy displays as (-3, Avenir LT Std 65 Medium) <> In case, faux bold/italic styling is applied on the font, the faux bold/italic string is displayed alongside the font name within square parenthesis. Also, a faux warning icon is displayed on the left of the font name. Font Management in QuarkXPress QuarkXPress 2020 provides a new Font management capability to activate or deactivate fonts from any location — from any file system or network — temporarily or permanently.
font folder having the highest priority among them will get enumerated even if the number of font styles in these folders differ. ● If the Document Fonts folder contains the same font but in different font formats, then the fonts of a single format will be enumerated and the priority defined for the font formats is in the order - OTF, TTC, TTF, Type1, CID, Bitmap.
Document Fonts 2. Resolving Missing Fonts from user-specified location: ● Under Preferences dialog, there is a new pane at the application level for Font Management. ● You can add/remove one or more font folders to search and replace missing fonts. ● You can choose to automatically activate missing fonts from the userdefined font folders while opening a project file/importing a Word file/importing an Excel file/opening an IDML file, or converting to native objects.
Resolving Missing Fonts from User-specified Location ● If you choose not to automatically activate the missing fonts, then there is a ‘Search in Folders’ option in Missing Fonts dialog to manually activate the missing fonts from the user-defined font folders.
● You can select one or more missing fonts to resolve from Missing font folders specified in Preferences. Search in Folders option in Usage Dialog ● The missing fonts will be only activated temporarily for the current project. ● On closing a project, the replacement fonts for that project will get deactivated. 3.
● Among the Application font folders, Application fonts at the Root level have the highest priority, followed by Application Fonts at the User level and then the Application Fonts packaged with the Digital Publishing- Flex Templates which have the last priority during font enumeration.
Applying type styles To apply a type style to selected text, do one of the following things: ● Choose Style > Type Style and choose a type style from the submenu. ● Choose a type style from the Text Styles drop-down menu in the Measurements palette. You can remove applied type styles using ‘Remove All Styles’ option in the Text styles pop up menu in the measurement palette or using the ‘Reset Type styles’ button in the Character Style Sheet dialog.
● Enter a value in the Baseline field of the Character tab of the Measurements palette. ● Use the ticker controls with or without Shift or Alt/ Opt modifier to modify the baseline shift value. ● Use the keyboard commands. Applying emphasis value To apply an emphasis mark to a character, select the character, click the Emphasis Mark drop down in the Text Styles menu on the Home or Character tab of the Measurements palette to display the emphasis mark options, and then click one of the options.
● Width - Define the desired width of the stroke as an absolute value (up to 500 pt). You can also define the width as a percentage of the text. The width of the stroke will then be dependent on the font size and increase/decrease proportionally if you change the font size. A percentage value must be between 0 and 50%. ● Join - Select the type of join to specify the appearance of the stroke at corner points that extend beyond the end points of the text.
Settings.xml will be available by default with QuarkXPress, and it should be placed atMac-~/Library/Application Support/Quark/QuarkXPress 2021/Settings.xml Windows- :\Program Files\Quark\QuarkXPress 2021\Settings.
Drawing order option in Vertical Measurement Palette Drawing order option in Character Style sheet dialog Controlling half-width characters To keep half-width characters (such as Roman characters) horizontal in a vertical story, check the Keep Half-Width Characters Upright box on the Character tab of the Measurements palette.
Working with font sets Font sets let you control how different types of characters — such as Alphabetic (Roman) and Han characters — display when they occur together in text. You can create a new font set in the Edit Font Set dialog box (Edit > Font Sets). Each font set is composed of a set of font types, each of which has its own settings. Use the Edit Font Set dialog box to configure a font set.
If you enter a value in a blank field, that value will be applied to all the selected text. If you check or uncheck a gray check box, that style setting will be applied to or removed from all selected text. Use the Character tab of the Measurements palette to format text. Applying paragraph attributes Paragraph attributes are formatting options that apply to a paragraph as a whole. They include alignment, indents, leading, and tab settings.
How it works? You will find the following new text alignment settings in the paragraph style sheet and measurements palette: ● Towards Spine ● Away From Spine Text alignment changes in case of Towards Spine and Away from Spine are visible in case of a facing page layout.
Away From Spine A Guide to QuarkXPress 2022 | 224
Paragraph Alignment options In the case of Facing Pages, there is a spine: ● Towards Spine alignment: Irrespective of the number of pages in the spread, the text on all the Left side pages will align to the right side (i.e. towards the spine); the text on all the Right side pages will align to the left side (i.e. towards the spine). ● Away from Spine alignment: Irrespective of the number of pages in the spread, the text on all the Left side pages will align to the left side (i.e.
from the spine); the text on all the Right side pages will align to the right side (i.e. away from the spine). In case of Non-Facing Pages, there is no spine: ● Towards Spine alignment: Irrespective of the number of pages in the spread, the text will align to the left side. ● Away from Spine alignment: Irrespective of the number of pages in the spread, the text will align to the right side.
Controlling leading Leading is a measure of line spacing — the distance between text baselines in paragraphs. When you specify a leading value, it is applied to all lines in selected paragraphs. You can specify leading by four methods: ● Absolute leading sets the distance between baselines of text to a specific value, regardless of the size of characters on the lines. For example, if you specify an absolute leading value of 16 points for a paragraph, all baselines will be spaced 16 points apart.
Controlling space before and after paragraphs Space Before and Space After controls let you specify the amount of space before and after selected paragraphs. To set the space before and after selected paragraphs, use the Space Before Paragraph and Space After Paragraph controls in the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette.
Space Between set to ‘Ignore’ Space Between set ‘0’ A Guide to QuarkXPress 2022 | 229
How it works? ● You can now ignore or apply different spacing between consecutive paragraphs having the same style applied. You may want to apply this when you have applied space before or space after or both on multiple paragraphs and want to ignore or customize the spacing between consecutive paragraphs.
You can use the Split Columns option to achieve a multi-column effect on selected paragraphs in a single-column box. ● Columns - select the number of columns you want the paragraph to span, or be split into. For Span Columns you can choose All or a number from 2 to 30. (All refers to any number of columns in the text box which are 30 or above.) For Split Columns the value must be a number from 2 to 30. ● Space Before - set the space before the selected paragraphs.

Keep option for Column Flow ● Keep paragraphs of different column spans together using Keep Lines Together and Keep with Next attributes. ● This feature will work with new documents created in QuarkXPress 2020 and later i.e. having text version as 16.0 and higher (there will no change while opening or working with legacy documents). ● You need to force the new text flow for legacy documents (Alt+Open) to use this feature.
● Center aligns text centrally on that tab stop. ● Right aligns text flush right on the tab stop. ● Decimal aligns text on a decimal point (period). ● Comma aligns text on a first comma. ● Align On aligns text on any character you specify. When you select this tab, the Align On field displays. Select the existing entry, and enter the character to align on.
Tabs dialog To define a tab stop: ● Select a Tab stop and drag the tab stop over the tab ruler or type tab stop position in the Position field. ● Define Tab leaders using the Fill Character field if required. ● Click Set to set up the tab stop. ● Use Clear All to clear all the tab stops. If you do not set custom tabs, the application sets default left-aligned tabs every half-inch. To apply tabs to selected paragraphs: Use the controls in the Tabs tab of the Measurements palette.
Break options in Paragraph Style If you’re working on automation workflows or Books (Digital Publishing with long documents), you may need to specify the beginning of paragraphs on any article (odd-even page or new page). This long demanded feature is now available in QuarkXPress 2021. Now, in the paragraph style sheet, there is an option to define the Break option which is called the Start Paragraph. Go to Window Menu > Style Sheet.
Please note that the next odd or even page will be calculated based on the section page number. Column Break: ● In Next Column – This works similar to the current “COLUMN BREAK” where the paragraph moves to the next column else overflow if the next column is not available. Box Break: ● In Next Box — This works similar to the current “BOX BREAK” where the paragraph moves to the next available box else overflow if the next box is not available.
Start Paragraph option in Vertical Measurement Palette Working with text shading Use borders to clearly describe your shaded text through page breaks. If the paragraph breaks, you can now ensure that your shaded text displays the bottom borderline for the first page and the top borderline for the next page. With the ‘Text Shading Style,’ you can define your borders. Using page-break boundaries clearly identify your shaded text.
● Choose an existing text shading style from the list and click Edit to edit it, or click New to add a new text shading style. Alternatively, you can use the Text Shading Styles (Window > Text Shading Styles) palette to create and edit text shading styles. The Edit Text Shading Style dialog displays.
● Enter a name for this text shading style in the Name field, or the application will use a default “New Text Shading Style” name. ● Define the attributes in the Shade tab: ● Color: Choose a color for the text shading from the drop-down menu. Choose New from the menu to create a new color for the shading. ● Shade: Enter or use the slider control to specify the shade of the color in terms of a percentage.
Clearly define your shaded text with borders across page-breaks. Now you can make sure your shaded text shows the bottom borderline for the first page and top borderline for the next page if the paragraph breaks. Define the attributes in the Border tab: ● Width: Specify the width of the frame . ● Style: Choose a frame style from the drop-down menu. ● Color: Choose a color for the frame from the drop-down menu. Choose New from the menu to create a new color for the frame.
● In the Offsets section, specify the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom offsets. ● Display Border on Continued Paragraph: It is applicable for both continued paragraphs breaking across pages/ columns and for continuous paragraphs having same border-shading attributes where first ends in first column/page and the other starts with next column/page, then border shade text shows the bottom borderline for the first column/page and top borderline for the next column/page if the paragraph breaks.
If you edit an existing text shading style, the changes will be applied immediately wherever this text shading style has been used in the layout. Once you have created a text shading style, you can use this style in both paragraph and character style sheets. Select it from the Text Shading dropdown menu in the Edit Character Style Sheet dialog or in the Formats tab of the Edit Paragraph Style Sheet dialog.
1 Select the text to be shaded. To apply shading to an entire paragraph, place the cursor anywhere in the paragraph. 2 Do one of the following things: ● Display the Text Shading Styles palette (Window > Text Shading Styles) and select a defined text shading style to apply to the text. ● Use the controls in the Text Shading tab of the Measurements palette. ● Apply a defined text shading style to either a character or paragraph style sheet and apply that style sheet to the text.
This is what applying text shading to an entire paragraph looks like: You can choose to shade an entire paragraph and then shade selected text within that paragraph: Controlling kerning Kerning is the adjustment of space between character pairs. Because of their shapes, certain character pairs look better when kerned. You can use automatic kerning, and you can also use manual kerning controls to specify additional kerning between characters. Kerning values are expressed as 1/200 of an em space.
● Use the ticker controls with or without Shift or Alt/ Opt modifier to modify the size ● Use the keyboard commands. Kerning automatically To automatically kern text above a specific point size, display the Character pane of the Preferences dialog box , check Auto Kern Above, and enter a value in the field. QuarkXPress uses kerning information that is built into the font (the font’s kerning table).
The Edit Hyphenation & Justification dialog box ● Auto Hyphenation: Specify whether automatic hyphenation is allowed. ● Smallest Word: Specify the minimum number of characters a word must contain to allow hyphenation. ● Minimum Before: Specify the minimum number of characters before a hyphen. ● Minimum After: Specify the minimum number of characters after a hyphen. ● Break Capitalized Words: Specify whether hyphenation of capitalized words is allowed.
You can choose from the following strictness levels: ● Compounds Only ● Nominal ● Aesthetic ● Prevalent: This is the default level when opening creating a new project since QuarkXPress 2018 onwards. ● Everywhere ● As 2017 and Earlier: This is the default Strictness Level when opening a legacy document created in QuarkXPress 2017 and prior versions. The Strictness level feature is only supported by Dieckmann hyphenation libraries (Extended 2 hyphenation method).
Support for all non- Dieckmann hyphenation libraries (e.g. ‘Standard’, ‘Expanded’, ‘Enhanced’) have been dropped for new documents created in QuarkXPress 2018. XTension developer created hyphenation libraries will continue to be supported for QuarkXPress 2018. ● Hyphens in a Row: Specify how many words can be hyphenated in consecutive line ends. ● Hyphenation Zone: Specify the area before the right indentation in which hyphenation can occur. For example, if you set the hyphenation zone to .
● Non Breaking Method: Choose a non-breaking method from the dropdown menu. When the last character in a line of justified text is a non-breaking character that cannot end a line, Run Back pulls the first character of the next line up to the current line, based on the value in the Min. field. Run Down pushes the character to the next line, based on the value in the Max. field. ● R Space: Specify the amount of space between words containing Roman characters in justified paragraphs.
Specifying hyphenation exceptions In QuarkXPress, you can create language-specific lists of hyphenation exceptions. The Hyphenation Exceptions dialog box (Utilities > Hyphenation Exceptions > Edit) has a Language drop-down menu that lets you specify which language a hyphenation exception applies to. When a paragraph is automatically hyphenated, the application checks the list of hyphenation exceptions for the appropriate paragraph language.
This two-way link works only when the.xml file is linked through a Job Jacket, we do not link the xml file directly to a layout. Importing hyphenation exception files To import hyphenation exception files: 1 Choose Utilities > Hyphenation Exceptions > Import. The Select Hyphenation Exceptions File dialog box displays. The Select Hyphenation Exceptions File dialog box 2 Search for and select the hyphenation exception .xml file you wish to import.
The Conflict Resolution window. 4 Check Replace All to replace any existing hyphenation exceptions with the hyphenation exceptions in the file you have selected. Check Apply to all conflicts to take the same action for all the conflicts that occur while importing. If the file you are importing does not contain hyphenation exceptions for a particular language, then any existing hyphenation exceptions for that language will be erased.
● Exporting hyphenation exceptions when no project is open creates an external .xml file containing the hyphenation exceptions present in QuarkXPress at the application level for all the languages. ● Exporting hyphenation exceptions with a multi-layout project open creates an external .xml file containing the hyphenation exceptions present in the current layout of the project. Job Jackets with hyphenation exceptions A new Hyphenation Exceptions resource has been added at the Job Jacket level.
5 Click to add a hyphenation exception files as a resource. You can select this file to be the default hyphenation exception file. When there is no layout item at Job Ticket level, this will be the default hyphenation exception file applied to layouts defined in the Job Ticket. 6 Browse to and select the desired .xml file.
● If a user links/attaches a project (having no hyphenation exceptions) with the job jacket containing hyphenation exceptions, then hyphenation exceptions would get imported in the project’s layout. ● If a user links/attaches a project (already containing hyphenation exceptions) with the job jacket containing different hyphenation exceptions, then hyphenation exceptions in the project’s layout would get replaced with the ones in the job jacket.
Existing hyphenation exception resources are listed in the bottom-right list. Synchronization between hyphenation exception files and layouts QuarkXPress supports synchronization between a layout and the hyphenation exception file when it is part of a Job Jacket resource.
with a project. In order to get the changes reflected, user must relink the project with the same Job Jacket. ● The synchronization feature works for all the languages. Integrating with Quark Publishing Platform To integrate a Job Jacket with an external hyphenation exceptions file checked into the Quark Publishing Platform server: 1 Open the Job Jackets Manager dialog box (Utilities > Job Jackets Manager) and click the open Job Jacket button . Select Quark Publishing Platform from the dropdown.
3 Select the desired Job Jacket and click OK. 4 Select Hyphenation Exceptions from the list of Resource types in the topright list and click to add a hyphenation exception file as a resource. 5 Click the Source attribute and select Quark Publishing Platform from the dropdown menu.
6 Click the Browse button and select the desired hyphenation exceptions file and click OK. Synchronization of hyphenation exceptions files on Platform If you have created a project from a Job Jacket, containing a hyphenation exception reference, then any changes performed in the hyphenation exception file will get reflected in the layout the next time the project is opened or re-linked to the job ticket.
Controlling tracking Tracking lets you adjust the space between selected characters and words for copyfitting and typographic effects. Tracking values are expressed as 1/200 of an em space. A positive tracking value increases the space to the right of each character; a negative value decreases it. Tracking is commonly used for copyfitting. However, too much tracking can interfere with design and readability.
If you enter a number in a Track Amount field but do not specify a measurement unit, tracking is applied instead of sending. To apply sending, specify a measurement unit. You can apply sending to characters that do not have Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language applied to them. Simply check the Apply Sending to Non-CJK Characters box in the Character tab of the Measurements palette.
Use the Style Sheets dialog box to create, edit, and delete style sheets. To create a paragraph style sheet, choose Paragraph from the New drop-down button. The Edit Paragraph Style Sheet dialog box displays. Use the controls in this dialog box to configure the attributes of the style sheet.
Use the Edit Paragraph Style Sheet dialog box to configure a paragraph style sheet. First, configure the controls in the General tab: ● Name: Enter a name in this field, or the application will use a default “New Style Sheet” name. ● Keyboard Equivalent: To define a keyboard command for the style sheet, enter one in the Keyboard Equivalent field. You can enter any combination of Command, Option, Shift, or Control/Ctrl or Ctrl+Alt, along with a function or keypad key.
● If you define a keyboard equivalent for a style sheet with a key sequence that also defines an existing command, the style sheet command will override the existing command when the Text Content tool is selected and a text box is active. ● If you define a keyboard equivalent for a style sheet with a key sequence that also defines an existing command, the style sheet command will override the existing command when a text component is active.
Updating paragraph style sheets When you place the cursor in a paragraph that has uniform local formatting applied, you can update the style sheet applied to that text to include the local formatting by clicking the Update button . Alternatively, you can choose Style > Update Style Sheet > Paragraph. To update both the paragraph style sheet and the character style sheet applied to text so that they reflect local formatting, choose Style > Update Style Sheet > Both.
Edit Character Style Sheet First, configure the controls in the General tab: ● Name: Enter a name in this field, or the application will use the default “New Style Sheet” name. ● Keyboard Equivalent: To define a keyboard command for the style sheet, enter one in the Keyboard Equivalent field. You can enter any combination of Command, Option, Shift, or Control/Ctrl or Ctrl+Alt, along with a function or keypad key.

Updating character style sheets When you select text that has uniform local formatting applied, you can update the style sheet applied to that text to include the local formatting by clicking the Update button . Alternatively, you can choose Style > Update Style Sheet > Character.
Next Style, applies that style to the following paragraph. Next style will be applied while selecting ‘Apply Using Next Style‘ command even if current paragraph style sheet is defined as Next Style. Next style will not be applied while selecting ‘Apply Using Next Style‘ command if No Style is defined as Next Style. The options for this feature are as follows: ● Apply Using Next Style: Applies style sheets using Next Style.
Text that can be formatted with conditional styles The conventions used here could be described like so: 1 Apply the Headline paragraph style sheet to the first paragraph. 2 Apply the Bold Body character style sheet to the first sentence of the second paragraph. 3 Apply the Body paragraph style sheet until you get to the end of the story. 4 When you get to the end, turn around and apply the Byline character style sheet backwards until you get to an em dash.
Once you’ve captured these rules in a conditional style, you can style a run of text by simply selecting it and then clicking the conditional style’s name in the Conditional Styles palette. Conditional Styles palette It is important to understand that conditional styles are applied at the paragraph level. Each paragraph can have only one conditional style applied to it.
Edit Conditional Style dialog box 3 Enter a name for the conditional style in the Name field. 4 To begin building a rule, choose an option in the first column: ● Apply: Use this option to apply formatting to text. ● Go: Use this option to move to a different point in the text. The rule after a Go rule is applied beginning at the point where the Go rule stops. The option you choose in the first column determines which options are available in the other columns.
● Conditional Style Marker: Choose this option to jump or format to the next conditional style marker. For more information, see “Conditional style markers.” ● Character: Choose this option to target a particular character, then enter the character in the next column. If you want to move to or through one of several characters, enter all of them with no characters between them. For example, if you enter “abc” here, the application will stop for “a”, “b”, or “c”.
9 To add a rule, click the + button at the end of the first row. (To delete a rule, click the - button.) 10 To make the rules repeat, check Repeat Conditional Style At and choose an option: ● Text: Choose this option to repeat when a particular chunk of text is found, then enter the target text in the field. ● Character: Choose this option to repeat when a particular character is found, then enter the character in the next column.
2 Select the Text Content tool and select the target paragraphs or place the text cursor where you want the conditional styling to begin. 3 Click the name of the conditional style in the Conditional Styles palette. Note that once you have applied a conditional style to text, that text will continue to be automatically formatted until you remove the conditional style.
Plain text with conditional style markers (highlighted in yellow) 2 Create a conditional style that applies the Headline paragraph style sheet to the first paragraph and the Body style sheet until the next occurrence of a conditional style marker. At the bottom of the Edit Conditional Style dialog box, check Repeat Conditional Style At and select Conditional Style Marker. Conditional style that uses conditional style markers 3 Apply the conditional style to the text.
Text with conditional style applied Editing a conditional style There are two ways to edit a conditional style: ● Choose Edit > Conditional Styles, select the conditional style, and then click Edit. ● Select the conditional style in the Conditional Styles palette and click Edit . To delete a conditional style, use the Delete button in the Conditional Styles dialog box or select the conditional style in the Conditional Styles palette and click Delete .
•/123 drop-down menu and indent buttons In addition to the settings in bullet, numbering, and outline styles, there is a paragraph attribute called Minimum Bullet/Number Distance from Text, on the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette. This value lets you handle situations where a left-aligned or center-aligned number is pushing into the paragraph. To increase and decrease the indent level of a paragraph, use the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette.
Edit Bullet Style dialog box To control how the bullet is styled, choose an option from the Character Style drop-down menu. Choose Inherit from Paragraph to use the paragraph’s character formatting for the bullet, or choose a character style sheet to use that character style sheet’s formatting. Enter the actual bullet character or characters in the Bullet Characters field.
● By choosing an outline style that uses the bullet style from the •/123 menu in the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette. If you do it this way, the bullet’s position is controlled by the outline style. For more information, see “Working with outline styles.” ● Associate the bullet style with a paragraph style sheet, then apply that style sheet to the text. For more information, see “Bullets, numbering, outlines, and style sheets.
value in em spaces. The Relative (in Ems) option may be preferable when you will be using the numbering style with different-sized text. Numbering alignment and offset works the same way bullet alignment and offset works. For more information, see “Working with bullet styles.” You can apply a numbering style in three ways: ● Choose the numbering style’s name from the •/123 menu in the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette.
Working with outline styles An outline style defines indents for up to nine indent levels. You can associate a bullet or numbering style with each level. You can also choose whether to include the numbers from previous levels, as you would in some types of outline.
To create an outline style, choose Edit > Bullet, Numbering, and Outline Styles, then choose Outline Style from the New button in the Bullet, Numbering, and Outline Styles dialog box. The Edit Outline Style dialog box displays. Edit Outline Style dialog box Each outline style has nine levels, although you do not have to use all nine. Each level has an indent, which you can specify in the Indent field for that level.
This diagram illustrates the relationship between level indents and bullet outsets. Numbering outsets work the same way. The Include Lower Levels/Separator column lets you choose to append the numbers from lower levels to the beginning of a number, and to specify how the numbers from the various levels are separated. For example, if you check this box for level 3 and specify a period as the separator, the numbering for level-3 text might look like this: 1.3.1 This paragraph is at level 3. 1.3.
How the Minimum Bullet/Number Distance from Text value is applied Check the Include Trailing Zero option to include trailing zeros at the end of the number. For example, if you check this box and your outline has three levels, the numbering would look like this: 1.0.0 This paragraph is at level 1 of a 3 level outline. 1.1.0 This paragraph is at level 2 of a 3 level outline. 1.1.1 This paragraph is at level 3 of a 3 level outline.
● The Level field will only become enabled when an Outline Style is selected. ● A new Start At option at style level. ● Provides a few options to restart the numbering automatically: ● Restart Numbering After a specific Level. The User can select any of the available level/ Any Previous Level from the pop-up or can type the level number in the field. ● Restart Numbering After intervening paragraph style. User can choose to Restart Numbering After any specified paragraph style sheet.
Positioning text in text boxes The topics below cover several ways to control the vertical and horizontal positioning of text in text boxes. Using baseline grid QuarkXPress versions 7.0 and earlier included a feature called Baseline Grid. The baseline grid was an evenly spaced series of invisible horizontal lines running from the top to the bottom of each page. Locking paragraphs to the baseline grid let you align baselines from column to column and from box to box, across a page and across spreads.
To specify the same inset for all four sides, leave Multiple Insets unchecked and then enter a number in the All Edges field. To specify different insets for the four sides, check Multiple Insets and then enter numbers in the Top, Left, Bottom, and Right fields. Specifying story direction You can position text so that it runs left-to-right and top-to-bottom or top-tobottom and right-to-left. To specify a story direction, choose Style > Story Direction, and then choose Horizontal or Vertical.
Using text runaround The text runaround feature lets you control the way text runs behind, around, or within items and pictures. You can specify text to run around the actual item, or you can create custom runaround paths and then manually modify them. The text runaround feature lets you control the way text runs behind, around, or within pictures. You can specify text to run around the actual picture, or you can create custom runaround paths and then manually modify them.
● Choose Manual to create an editable runaround path. You can specify a new path’s distance from text, and then you can modify that path by choosing the appropriate field from the Runaround tab of the Measurements palette. For information about modifying a runaround path, see “Fine-tuning a runaround path” and “Editing a runaround path.
● Choose Auto Image to create a Bézier clipping and runaround path based on the picture’s non-white areas. ● Choose Embedded Path to run text around a path embedded in an image by an image-editing application. ● Choose Alpha Channel to run text around an alpha channel embedded in an image by an image-editing application. ● Choose Non-White Areas to create a runaround path based on the picture’s subject.
Note: Currently only Item type Runaround is allowed for multiple selected items. Fine-tuning a runaround path When you choose Auto Image, Embedded Path, Alpha Channel, Non-White Areas, or Same As Clipping from the Type drop-down menu in the Runaround tab of the Measurements palette, the following fields let you manipulate the runaround path: 1 Outset changes the size of the runaround path.
3 Smoothness lets you control path accuracy. A lower value creates a more complex path with a greater number of points. A higher value creates a less accurate path. 4 Threshold determines how “white” is defined. All pixels defined as “white” are excluded. For example, if the Threshold value is 20%, and a pixel’s gray value is below or at 20%, the pixel will be considered “white” and excluded from the runaround path. Editing a runaround path To adjust a runaround path, check Runaround (Item > Edit).
To add text to a line or path, select the Text Content tool line or path. and double-click the To control the way text rides the selected text path, use the Text Box tab of the Measurements palette. Choose an option from the Text Orientation area to choose how the text should ride the path. You can also choose an option from the Align Text drop-down menu to determine which part of a font is used to position characters on the path.
Using anchored boxes You can paste boxes and lines of any shape in text, which makes them act like characters and flow with text. This is especially helpful when text reflows, because anchored items reflow like other characters in the text. If items are not anchored and text reflows, they become displaced, and can end up overlapping text. Anchored objects (boxes, lines and tables) can be nested as deep as you like with no limit.
Working with OpenType Styles OpenType is a cross-platform font format developed by Adobe and Microsoft that accommodates large character sets and glyphs, often including fractions, discretionary ligatures, old-style numerals, and more. Since QuarkXPress 2018, the UI for the OpenType Styles feature has been greatly improved, making it much more user-friendly. With the latest update of QuarkXPress v16.2, now we get precise control over OpenType glyph positioning and placement of sophisticated text layout.
A Guide to QuarkXPress 2022 | 299
The OpenType Styles palette can also be displayed/closed by pressing the F4 shortcut key. A radio button indicates that the OpenType feature is mutually exclusive, you need to select between one of the features. A check box indicates that the OpenType feature is additive, you can add the feature to the already applied OpenType features. On macOS only the features available to the currently selected font are shown by default.
OpenType styles available in the Edit Character Style Sheet dialog If a font has OpenType features available, then the UI label for the corresponding OpenType feature will appear enabled in the OpenType dialog, otherwise the UI label will appear grayed out. The check box for the OpenType features are independent of the availability of the OpenType feature in the applied font. This allows the user to set the OpenType attributes during style sheet creation or modification.
● Italics: Apply italic glyphs. ● Fractions: Apply slashed fraction glyphs. ● Swashes: Apply calligraphic glyphs. ● Ordinals: Apply ordinal number glyphs. ● Titling Alternates: Apply capital letter glyphs designed for titles at larger point sizes. ● Contextual Alternates: Apply alternate glyph variations based on contextual juxtapositions of text. ● Localized Forms: Replace default forms of glyphs with localized forms. This feature is dependent on the text language of the base text. ● H\V Kan
● Stylistic Alternates: This feature replaces the default forms with the stylistic alternates. ● Historical Forms: This feature replaces the default forms with the historical alternates. ● Small Capitals From Capitals: This feature turns capital characters into small capitals. ● Case Sensitive Forms: This feature shifts various punctuation marks up to a position that works better with all-capital sequences or sets of lining figures; also changes oldstyle figures to lining figures.
Use the Find/Change dialog to search/replace text that has specified OpenType features applied; or search/replace OpenType features. Using ligatures There are two methods for using ligatures: The legacy method or the OpenType method. The legacy method supports standard ligatures such as fi and fl in PostScript fonts. The OpenType method allows access to both standard ligatures and discretionary ligatures in OpenType fonts.
● Not “ffi” or “ffl”: Check this box to prevent fi and fl ligatures in words such as “office” or “waffle” when ffi and ffl ligatures do not exist in the current font. Working with OpenType Stylistic Sets Some OpenType fonts with numerous alternate characters organize these alternates into Stylistic Sets. This eliminates the time-consuming task of selecting each alternate character individually to find which ones look best with which others.
The Glyphs palette displays the available OpenType features for each font. Working with Color Fonts A color font file is a regular font file that embeds additional data to display more graphic properties than the contour shapes of a character. QuarkXPress supports three color font formats: ● SBIX: This is an Apple format, containing glyphs with bitmap raster data. ● COLR: This is a Microsoft format, containing glyphs with vector data.
,) or (Windows key+ ;) on Windows, Emoji key on Touch keyboard on Windows. Multi code point Emoji sequences cannot be inserted as a single character, nor do the individual characters in correct sequence combine to form a single emoji glyph. QuarkXPress doesn’t provide a UI option in the Glyph palette to access all variants of a base emoji glyph (like skin tone variants). Working with the Glyphs palette A glyph is the smallest unit of a font — each uppercase letter, for example, consists of its own glyph.
A Guide to QuarkXPress 2022 | 308
OpenType features in Glyphs palette To view the glyphs in a font, display the Glyphs palette (Window menu) and choose a font and font style from the Font family and style menu in the upperleft corner. Options available in the Glyphs palette include the following: ● To view a subset of the glyphs in the font, choose an option from the Show drop-down menu. ● To see any alternates available for a glyph, click the box in the lower-right corner of an individual glyph’s cell.
Inserting spaces To insert a specific type of space — such as an em space — at the text insertion point, choose Utilities > Insert Character > Special > Em Space or Utilities > Insert Character > Special (nonbreaking) > Em Space. The options in the Nonbreaking Space submenu act as “glue” between two words or numbers, for example, preventing breaks from occurring between the two “glued” elements at the end of a line.
For more information about the Font Fallback feature, see “Preferences — Application — Font Fallback.” Working with font mapping rules When you open a project, the application checks to make sure all the fonts applied to text are active on your system. If not, the Missing Fonts alert displays, which gives you the opportunity to replace missing fonts with active fonts. You can save those replacements as global “font mapping rules,” which can be applied automatically each time you open a project.
Font Mapping dialog Once you create a font mapping rule by clicking Save As Rule in the Missing Fonts alert, the rule is saved in preferences for your copy of the application and applied to all articles. If you need to change, delete, or share font mapping rules, choose Utilities > Font Mapping. You can use the Fonts pane (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences) to specify a default replacement font and to control whether the Missing Fonts alert displays when you open a project with missing fonts.
Grid lines Each design grid includes the following grid lines: bottomline, baseline, centerline, and topline. In addition, design grids include a full cell box, which makes it easy for you to align characters vertically or horizontally. You can align text and items to any of these grid lines. A line in a design grid includes a bottomline, a baseline, a centerline, and a topline.
You can configure a page’s design grid by displaying the page’s master page and then choosing Page > Master Guides & Grid. You can control a text box’s design grid by choosing Grid Settings from the text box’s context menu. A page with its master page grid displayed, with all grid lines showing.
