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.
What we're assuming about you
In writing this guide, we assume that you are familiar with your computer and know how
to:
• Launch an application
• Open, save, and close files
• Use menus, dialog boxes, and palettes
• Work within a networked computing environment
• Use the mouse, keyboard commands, and modifier keys
Consult the documentation provided with your computer or other resources if you need
more information in any of these areas.
Where to go for help
If you're new to QuarkXPress, or if you want to explore one of its other longstanding
features, consult the following resources:
• A Guide to QuarkXPress
• QuarkXPress Help
• Third-party books
• General books about desktop publishing
If your issues are at the system level — saving files, moving files, activating fonts, for
example — consult the documentation resources provided with your computer.

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."
• 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. However,
some labels, buttons, key combinations, and other aspects of the application must differ
between Mac OS® and Windows® because of user interface conventions or other factors.
In such cases, both the Mac OS and Windows versions are presented, separated by a slash,
with the Mac OS version presented first. For example, if the Mac OS version of a button
is labeled Select, and the Windows version is labeled Browse, you are directed to "Click
Select/Browse." More complex cross-platform differences are mentioned in notes or
parenthetical statements.
Technology note
Quark developed QuarkXPress for Mac OS and Windows to give publishers control over
typography, color, and collaboration. In addition to unique typographic controls,
QuarkXPress offers comprehensive font support, including support for TrueType®,
OpenType®, and Unicode®. Designers can use PANTONE® (the PANTONE MATCHING
SYSTEM®), Hexachrome®, Trumatch®, Focoltone®, DIC®, and Toyo to add color to page
layouts.
QuarkXPress acts as a hub for collaborative publishing environments because it allows
you to import and export content in multiple file formats, and to share design components
with other users. You can import files from applications such as Microsoft® Word, Microsoft
Excel®, WordPerfect®, Adobe® Illustrator®, and Adobe Photoshop®. You can output
content as PostScript® or in PDF format for Adobe Acrobat® Reader®. You can also export
files that can be viewed using QuickTime®, Internet Explorer®, Safari®, Firefox®, and
Netscape Navigator®. With Quark Interactive Designer™, you can export layouts in Flash®
format. Using features such as Job Jackets® and Composition Zones®, you can be sure
that multiple people share specifications to produce consistent publications, even while
working on a single publication simultaneously.
The QuarkXPress software architecture lets you and software developers expand publishing
capability. Through XTensions® software technology, third-party developers can create

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.
