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.
To unlock selected items, uncheck the appropriate option in the Item > Lock
submenu.
Anchoring items and groups in text
You can anchor an item or group so that it flows as a character within text.
To anchor an item or group within text, use the Item tool to select the item or
group you want to anchor and choose Edit > Copy (Command+C/Ctrl+C) or Edit
> Cut (Command+X/Ctrl+X).
Then, with the Text Content tool selected, place the text insertion point at the
point in text where you want to anchor the item or group and choose Edit >
Paste (Command+V/Ctrl+V).
QuarkXPress also provides support for nested anchors (i.e an anchored item
can contain a further anchored item to the nth level).
Working with callouts
The Callouts feature lets you create floating boxes that always display on the
same page or spread as the content they pertain to. For example:
You can create figures with pictures and text that follow their references ●
from page to page.
You can create pull quotes that can automatically move to a different page ●
with their source text.
You can create “floating” icons that sit in the space to the left of a paragraph ●
to indicate that the paragraph is a tip, a note, a warning, and so forth.
