ABOUT THIS GUIDE 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.
ABOUT THIS GUIDE Conventions Formatting conventions highlight information to help you quickly find what you need. • Bold type style: The names of all dialog boxes, fields, and other controls are set in bold type. For example: "Click OK." • References: In descriptions of features, parenthetical references guide you in accessing those features. For example: "The Find/Change dialog box (Edit menu) lets you find and replace text.
ABOUT THIS GUIDE custom modules for QuarkXPress. QuarkXTensions® (Quark® XTensions software) also provide a modular approach for meeting your particular publishing needs. And if you can write AppleScript® scripts, you can use this scripting language from Apple® to automate many QuarkXPress activities. 20 | A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS 9.

THE USER INTERFACE View sets are saved at the application level. However, any view settings you apply to a layout using view sets are saved with that layout. A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS 9.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS 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 48" x 48" in size (or 24" x 48" for a two-page spread). A project can contain an unlimited number of layouts.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS New Project dialog box for Print layout type Every QuarkXPress project contains at least one layout. Therefore, when you create a project, you must specify a default layout for the file. You can use the default layout name or enter a new name for the layout in the Layout Name field. To indicate the type of the default layout, choose Print, Web, Interactive, App Studio, or ePub from the Layout Type drop-down menu. For more information about Web layouts, see "Web layouts.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS New Project dialog box for Web layout type Saving and naming a QuarkXPress project When you save a QuarkXPress project for the first time, the Save As dialog box displays. Use this dialog box to specify a project name, location, and type. When you save a QuarkXPress project, you can choose an option from the Type/Save as type drop-down menu: • Choose Project to save a project that you can modify. • Choose Project Template to save a read-only version of the project.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS To navigate between layouts, use the tabs at the top of the project window. To add a layout to the active project, choose Layout > New or click a layout tab and choose New from its context menu. To duplicate a layout, display the layout you want to duplicate, then choose Layout > Duplicate or choose Duplicate from the Layout tab context menu.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS style sheets, colors, H&Js, lists, dashes and stripes, cascading menus (Web layouts only), meta tags (Web layouts only), and menus (Web layouts only). Although every list definition you create can be used in any layout in the project, a list only draws from the active layout when you build it. Layout-level resources Layout-level resources can be unique for every layout in the project.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS For information about creating column and margin guides, see "Configuring a master page grid." For more information, see "Guide Manager Pro XTensions software." Ruler guides Ruler guides (or simply "guides") are nonprinting guidelines that you can position manually. You can create ruler guides by dragging them off the horizontal and vertical rulers (View > Rulers). You can create ruler guides on master pages and on individual layout pages.
PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS Undoing and redoing actions The Undo command (Edit menu) reverses the last action performed on an item. For example, if you accidentally cut a picture box, the Undo command will bring the picture box back into the layout from the Clipboard. The Redo command (Edit menu) lets you reimplement an action you had undone. Choose Edit > Undo (Command+Z/Ctrl+Z) to reverse the last action performed. The menu item identifies the specific action that can be undone.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 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.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • The Picture Content tool lets you create rectangular picture boxes and manipulate pictures in picture boxes. You can also use the Picture Content tool to cut, copy, and paste pictures. 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.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Picture box displaying picture content handles Picture content handles display even if the selected picture exceeds the size of its box (see illustration above). The picture displays beyond the box boundary. You can crop the image by resizing the picture box. 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 A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS 9.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 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 dismissed the overlay and allows you to interact with the box as if the Item tool were selected. If you click and drag with the Picture Content tool when the mouse pointer is positioned over a spot where a picture box handle and picture content handle overlap, only the picture is resized or rotated.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 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.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 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. Creating text and picture boxes There are three ways to create boxes: • To create a no-content box (a box that can be changed into a picture box or a text box), click and drag with the Rectangle Box tool , the Oval Box tool , or the Starburst tool .
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • Clicking a point without dragging creates a straight line and corner point. To create a curved line segment and smooth point, 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. Press Option/Alt while dragging a smooth point to create a curved segment and corner point. 4 If desired, edit the Bézier shape while you are still drawing it.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES QuarkXPress maintains the item's aspect ratio during resizing operations. You can also lock box proportions in the Box tab of the Modify dialog box. The proportion lock controls in the unlocked (top) and locked (bottom) states To lock the proportions of the picture in the selected box, display the Classic tab of the Measurements palette and click the proportion lock control next to the X% and Y% fields.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES You can also create your own frame styles in the Dashes and Stripes dialog box (Edit menu) and specify frame settings in an Item Style. For more about Item Styles, see "Item Styles XTensions software." Applying colors to boxes To apply a background color to active boxes, do one of the following: • Choose Item > Modify (Command+M/Ctrl+M), click the Box tab, and then use the controls in the Box area.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Merging and splitting boxes Options in the Merge and Split submenus (Item menu) let you create complex Bézier boxes from existing boxes. For example, if a rectangular box overlaps an oval box, you can select the Item > Merge submenu and choose an option that will create a single box with the same content. If you merge two picture boxes, one picture will display in the combined box. If you merge two text boxes, the text flows as one story through both boxes.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Changing box type To convert a selected box to a different type, choose Picture, Text, or None from the Content submenu (Item menu). However, you can also change a text box to a picture box by choosing File > Import and selecting a picture. You can change a picture box to a text box by choosing File > Import and selecting a text file. To convert a selected text box to a text path, choose a line shape from the Item > Shape submenu.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • 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. If you click and hold, you can control the radius of the corner point by dragging a curve handle. • To add a point to an existing segment of the shape, click the line segment where you want the point to be.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES • Choose either Left Point, Midpoint, or Right Point from the Line Mode drop-down menu in the Classic or Space/Align tab of the Measurements palette to display the L (Length) field. To precisely change the length of a line, enter a value in the L field, then press Return/Enter. You can resize any Bézier line by modifying the size of its bounding box. To do so, make sure Item > Edit > Shape is unchecked, and then resize the line as if it were a box.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 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.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES on a page. Each item you create occupies its own level in the stacking order. Every new item you create becomes the front item. The Item menu includes commands that let you control item stacking order. • Choose Item > Send to Back to move an item to the back of the page or layer. • Choose Item > Bring to Front to move an item to the front of the page or layer. • To move an item one level backward in the page or layer on Mac OS, press Option and choose Item > Send Backward.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES If an active group contains the same kind of items (for example, all picture boxes), the Modify dialog box will include a tab (or tabs) that refer specifically to those items. If an active group contains a variety of items, the Modify dialog box may display only a Group tab. Choose Item > Ungroup (Command+U/Ctrl+U) to ungroup a single group, or Item > Ungroup All to ungroup every group in a group that contains other groups.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Measurements palette and choose Space horizontal centers , the selected items position themselves on the far-left and far-right sides of the spread. Rotating items To rotate active items, do one of the following: • Select the Item tool and move the mouse over a corner handle. When the Rotation pointer displays, click to establish a rotation point; then drag in a circular motion to rotate the item. The Arrowhead pointer and the item's position will display as you drag.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES insertion point at the point in text where you want to anchor the item or group and choose Edit > Paste (Command+V/Ctrl+V). 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.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES For example, you can configure a callout so that its horizontal location is always against the outside margin, but its vertical location is always aligned with the paragraph that contains its callout anchor.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Callout Styles 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.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Selected callout anchor 3 Select the item or group that you want to make into a callout. 4 Choose Item > Callout Anchor > Associate with Callout Anchor. The item or group becomes a callout, and a line displays between the callout and the callout anchor. Callout anchor associated with a callout 5 Configure the callout anchor.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Edit Callout Settings dialog box 2 To control how the callout aligns horizontally, use the controls in the Align callout horizontally relative to area. (The Offset field lets you adjust the horizontal positioning of the callout from where it would otherwise be.) If you choose Spread from the Align callout horizontally relative to drop-down menu and specify a horizontal offset, that offset is inverted on left-facing pages.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES Working with callout styles Callout styles make it easy for you to apply often-used settings to callout anchors. To create, edit, duplicate, or delete callout styles, use the Callout Styles dialog box (Edit > Style Sheets). You can also use this dialog box to append callout styles from other projects. Callout Styles dialog box You can edit the Default callout style, but you cannot delete it.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES To turn runaround back on for such a callout, use the Runaround tab of the Modify dialog box (Item menu) or the drop-down menu in the Runaround tab of the Measurements palette. Working with tables In QuarkXPress, a table is a distinct item, like a text box, picture box, text path, or line.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES 6 If you want to link text cells so imported text flows through the specified cells — similar to linked text boxes — check Link Cells. If you check Link Cells, you can choose the order in which to link the text cells from the Link Order drop-down menu. If you do not link cells in this manner, you can link them later using the Linking tool or the Link Text Cells command (Table menu).
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES The Convert Text to Table dialog box 3 If you want to create text cells that expand as you add text, use the controls in the Auto Fit area. 4 If you want the information in the table to flow differently — for example, if the values are currently in descending order but would have more impact in ascending order — you can change the flow. Choose an option from the Cell Fill Order drop-down menu (the default is Left to Right, Top Down). 5 Click OK.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES later update the table, any local formatting you have applied in QuarkXPress is removed and replaced with the formatting from the Excel file. • If you do not check Include Formats in the Table Link dialog box when you first import an Excel table, the table's Excel formatting is discarded. If you later update the table, QuarkXPress attempts to preserve any local formatting you have applied to the table in QuarkXPress.
BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES A quicker way to create a table from Excel data — without linking the source table to the QuarkXPress project for updates — is to copy and paste. To do this, select any portion of data in an Excel worksheet and copy the selected data. Then simply switch to QuarkXPress and choose Edit > Paste.

Using the Keep with Next ¶ feature, you can keep a paragraph together with the paragraph that follows it. This lets you keep a subhead together with the paragraph that follows it, or keep other lines of text that logically go together from being separated.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Kerning automatically To automatically kern text above a specific point size, display the Character pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu), 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). A kerning table contains a number of character pairs — "Ta," for example — and an associated kerning value for each pair in the table.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY • 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 .05", the word is hyphenated when an acceptable hyphenation point falls within .05" of the right indentation. The word preceding the hyphenated word must not fall within the hyphenation zone.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY 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. When you are using tracking for copyfitting, consider these guidelines: • Track whole paragraphs rather than one line or one word. • Establish guidelines for tracking (for example from +3 to –3). • Make sure vertically adjacent paragraphs have similar tracking applied.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Working with style sheets A style sheet is a group of paragraph attributes, character attributes, or both that can be applied to selected paragraphs and characters in one step. Use style sheets to change unformatted text into styles such as headlines, subheadings, captions, or body copy. Using style sheets to apply a number of character and paragraph attributes at one time reduces layout time and helps maintain typographic consistency.

TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY A bullet style describes how a bullet should look, how far it should be from the text, and how it should be aligned. A numbering style describes how a number should look, what format it should have, how far it should be from the text, and how it should be aligned. An outline style defines indents for up to nine indent levels. You can associate a bullet or numbering style with each level.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY 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.

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.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY 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 Attributes tab of the Measurements palette. If you do it this way, the numbers are positioned to the left of the paragraph's first line indent by its Outset value.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Outline style indents are applied on top of paragraph indents. If a paragraph has a left indent of 12 pt, and the indent for an outline style's first level is 6 pt, a paragraph at level 1 would visually be indented by 18 pt. Each level can have a bullet or numbering style, or neither. To assign a bullet or numbering style to a level, choose an option in the Bullet or Numbering Style column for that level.

The baseline grid was an evenly spaced series of invisible horizontal lines running from the top to the bottom of each page.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Controlling font usage To view and replace fonts, display the Fonts pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu). This pane lists all fonts used in the active project. To replace every occurrence of a font, select the font name, click Replace, and choose a replacement font. If a font is listed in the Fonts tab (Utilities > Usage) as [Name of Font] preceded by a negative number, the system you are using does not have that font installed.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Runaround is a great way to make a page visually distinctive. Running text around all sides of an item To run text around all sides of an item, select a text box with either the Text Content tool or the Item tool , display the Text tab of the Modify dialog box (Item menu), and then check Run Text Around All Sides. Whether text runs around three sides or all sides of an item is determined by the text box, and not by the items that obstruct the text.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY • Choose Item to run text around an active text box. If the text box is rectangular, enter values in the Top, Left, Bottom, and Right fields to outset or inset the runaround area. If the text box is not rectangular, a single Outset field is provided. Running text around pictures Image editing applications can embed paths and alpha channels in an image. A path is a smooth Bézier shape, whereas an alpha channel is usually a grayscale image.
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY Runaround tab of Picture dialog box, showing runaround preview 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 (Style > Picture > Runaround), the following fields let you manipulate the runaround path: 1 Outset changes the size of the runaround path.
