ABOUT THIS GUIDE

A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS 2020 | 1

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:

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.

Conventions

Formatting conventions highlight information to help you quickly ﬁnd what you

need.

Underline type style: The names of all dialog boxes, ﬁelds, and other controls are •

set in Underline type style. For example: “Click OK.”

ABOUT THIS GUIDE

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 X 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®, Adobe® Illustrator®, and Adobe Photoshop®.

QuarkXPress supports copy paste of content from external applications, and allows

the user to convert the imported vector picture data to Native Objects. You can

output content as PostScript® or in PDF format for Adobe Acrobat® Reader®.

QuarkXPress supports export of digital output in ePub, Kindle format, and HTML5

Publications. The ePub ﬁle is compatible with all prominent ePub Readers and

Google Chrome. The Kindle ﬁle is compatible with Kindle devices. You can also

export ﬁles that can be viewed using Internet Explorer®, Safari®, Google Chrome®,

and Firefox®. 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.

THE USER INTERFACE

A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS 2020 | 3

The user interface

Skimming through the QuarkXPress user interface, you will ﬁnd that many

commands are familiar or self-explanatory. Once you become familiar with

QuarkXPress menus and dialog boxes, you will discover that keyboard commands

and palettes offer convenient access to features that you can also access through

menus.

THE USER INTERFACE

Tools

The Tools palette

The Tools palette includes the following controls:

Use the Item tool to select, move, resize, and reshape items (boxes, lines, text •

paths, and groups). When the Item tool is not selected, you can press

Command/Ctrl to temporarily access the Item tool.

Use the Text Content tool to draw text boxes and work with text in boxes. •

Use the Text Linking tool to link text boxes. To maintain the text in their •

respective boxes, hold down the Alt/Option key when using this tool.
