Text and Typography
Text is an integral part of nearly every publication. QuarkXPress lets you create
and edit text directly in your publications or import text from most popular word
processing applications. In addition to the standard text formatting and editing
features, QuarkXPress includes such features as finding and changing text and
its attributes, spell checking, custom spelling dictionaries, and a font usage
utility for making project-wide changes to text formatting.
Typography is the art of making the appearance of your text convey the tone or
meaning of the content. QuarkXPress lets you control the tone of your text by
letting you adjust every facet of typography, including typefaces, type styles,
leading, and spacing.

Editing text

When you type in a text component, the text is entered at the text insertion point,
which is indicated by the blinking line. A story is all of the text in a text box. If a
series of boxes is linked, all of the text in all of the boxes is a single story.
You can select text using multiple mouse clicks. A double-click selects the word
containing the text insertion point; a triple-click selects the line containing the
text insertion point; four clicks selects the entire paragraph containing the text
insertion point; five clicks selects the entire story.
When you double-click to select a word and cut or copy it, the application looks
at the context of the word and adds or deletes a space automatically as needed
when you paste the word in its new location. This feature is referred to as Smart
Space. If you want an accompanying punctuation mark included with the word
you’re selecting, double-click between the word and its adjacent punctuation.
