(10 pts + [20% of 10] = 12 pts). To specify incremental auto leading, enter a value preceded
by a plus sign (+) or a minus sign (–) from –63 points to +63 points using any measurement
system. Entering "+5" will add 5 points of leading to the base amount of auto leading;
entering "+5 mm" will add 5 millimeters.
Use the Maintain Leading check box to control the placement of a line of text that falls
immediately below an obstruction in a column or box. If Maintain Leading is checked,
the line's baseline is placed according to its applied leading value. If Maintain Leading is
unchecked, the ascent of the line will abut the bottom of the obstruction or any applied
runaround value (Item > Runaround).
In the Lock to Grid Based On area:
• Click Ascent and Descent to lock text to grid based on the ascenders and descenders of
characters.
• Click Font Size (Em Box) to lock text to grid based on the size of the em boxes of the
characters.
For each language in the Hyphenation list, use the Method drop-down menu in the
Hyphenation area to specify the method QuarkXPress uses to automatically hyphenate
paragraphs when no corresponding entry is found in your Hyphenation Exceptions
dictionary. The setting you choose affects only paragraphs for which Auto Hyphenation
(Edit > H&Js) is enabled:
• Choose Standard to hyphenate using the algorithm built into versions of QuarkXPress
prior to 3.1. Documents created in versions of QuarkXPress prior to 3.1 default to
Standard when they are opened in version 3.1 or later.
• Choose Enhanced to hyphenate using the algorithm built into QuarkXPress
version 3.1 and later.
• Extended 2 uses the same algorithm as Enhanced but checks any built-in hyphenation
dictionaries before resorting to the algorithm. Extended 2 uses the Dieckmann exception
resources and algorithm for hyphenation. This option was first introduced in
QuarkXPress 4.11 for German (Reformed) and has been expanded to other languages in
more recent versions. If available for a language, it is the default method for projects created
in QuarkXPress.
Preferences — Layout — Character
Use the Sharing pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to set the
default options for new shared content. Use the Character pane of the Preferences dialog
box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to specify how QuarkXPress constructs typographic styles
such as Superscript and Subscript:
• Use the Superscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of superscript characters.
The Offset value determines how far below the baseline QuarkXPress places a superscript
character. The Offset value is measured as a percentage of font size. The default value is
33%. The VScale value determines the vertical size of the character and is a percentage of
