ABOUT THIS GUIDE
About this guide
You do not need to read the QuarkCopyDesk® 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 QuarkCopyDesk, or if you want to explore one of its other longstanding
features, consult the following resources:
• A Guide to QuarkCopyDesk
• QuarkCopyDesk 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 QuarkCopyDesk for Mac OS and Windows to give publishers control
over typography, color, and collaboration, particularly with content in QuarkXPress®
projects. In addition to unique typographic controls, QuarkCopyDesk offers
comprehensive font management with TrueType®, OpenType®, and Unicode® support.
Designers can use PANTONE® (the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM®), Trumatch®,
Focoltone®, DIC®, and Toyo to add color to articles.
You can import files from applications such as Microsoft® Word, WordPerfect®,
Adobe® Illustrator®, and Adobe Photoshop®. You can output content as PostScript®
or in PDF format for Adobe Acrobat® Reader®. Using features such as
Composition Zones®, you can be sure that multiple people share specifications to
produce consistent publications, even while working on a single publication
simultaneously.
The QuarkCopyDesk software architecture lets you and software developers expand
publishing capability. Through XTensions® software technology, third-party developers
can create custom modules for QuarkCopyDesk. 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 QuarkCopyDesk activities.

article at the same time, and you can see changes in all panes simultaneously. You
can even use different view modes in each pane, and see your edits in one pane and
update in the other pane in real time. You can split multiple views horizontally or
vertically within a window.
By splitting a window, you can view your work at different magnifications at the same time.
There are three ways to split a window:
• Choose Window > Split Window > Horizontal or Window > Split Window >
Vertical.
28 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015

dragging the bars between the splits.
To remove splits from a window, use one of the following techniques:
• Choose Window > Split Window > Remove All.
• Click the close button in the top right corner of the window.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 29
ARTICLES AND COMPONENTS
Articles and components
Articles and components are the basic building blocks that you work with in
QuarkCopyDesk. This topic describes both in detail.
Understanding articles and components
An article is the main format used by QuarkCopyDesk. Each article consists of one or
more components, and each component is an independent text flow or picture. When
you select a text component in QuarkCopyDesk, you can edit and apply formatting
to the text in that component. When you select a picture component in
QuarkCopyDesk, you can crop, scale, rotate, and even perform image-editing operations
on the picture in that component.
One way to create an article is to simply choose File > New > Article in
QuarkCopyDesk, and then add the components you need. (You can create a component
by choosing Component > New.) You can also create an article in a QuarkXPress
project by adding text and picture boxes to an article icon in an Article palette in
QuarkXPress, or by creating a reflow article (for more information, see "Working with
Reflow view" in A Guide to QuarkXPress).
There are two ways to open an article that was created in QuarkXPress. One way is to
export the article from QuarkXPress as an article file and then open the article file in
QuarkCopyDesk (for more information, see "Multiple Article XTensions software"). The
other way is to simply open the QuarkXPress project file in QuarkCopyDesk. Whichever
method you use, the stories in the QuarkXPress article's text boxes become text
components and the picture boxes in the article become picture components.
You can also import content from an article's components in QuarkXPress. You can
import the contents of a text component into a text box, and you can import the
contents of a picture component into a picture box.
Reading order
Components in an article occur in a particular reading order — the order in which the
components should be viewed, regardless of how they're physically arranged — which
you can change if you need to. Every component also has a name, so you can
descriptively label your components. For example, you might name the first component
in a story "Headline," the second text component "Story," the following picture
component "Photo," and the last text component "Caption."
30 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
ARTICLES AND COMPONENTS
Text components and pages
Each text component can be viewed and edited as a series of one or more pages. If you
add content until a page overflows, QuarkCopyDesk creates another page. If you delete
a page of content, QuarkCopyDesk automatically deletes the empty page from the
component.
You can import a variety of types of documents into a text component, including
Microsoft Word files and articles saved by versions 7.x and later of QuarkCopyDesk.
You can also export text from an article in most of these formats.
Editing picture components
Among the ways QuarkCopyDesk lets you edit pictures are the following:
• Rotating
• Scaling
• Cropping
Picture placement and size can only be changed in WYSIWYG view, while other picture
editing can be done in all 3 veiws.
Master components
Each component is based on a master component. A master component is the equivalent
of a master page in QuarkXPress; it dictates the properties of components you create
from it. For example, if you create a text component from a master text component
that has particular margin, column, and gutter values, then the text component inherits
those margin, column, and gutter values.
When you create a QuarkCopyDesk article from scratch, QuarkCopyDesk uses the first
master text component to create a single text component. If you create a component,
and multiple master components of that type are available, you must choose which
master component you want to use.
If you change a master component (File > Article Setup), the change affects all
components that are based on that master component. This includes changes to the
margin guides, number of columns, and column guides.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 31
ARTICLES AND COMPONENTS
The Article Setup dialog box lets you work with master components.
Master components and QuarkXPress
When you open a QuarkXPress project in QuarkCopyDesk, that project's master pages
become master components. Any items on such master pages are ignored; only the
text-related specifications of the page (such as margin, column, and gutter values) are
used.
Templates
A template is a locked article that you can use to create articles that have pre-existing
components or content. You can save any article as a template. To create an article
from a template file, double-click the template file's icon.
QuarkCopyDesk lightweight file format
In addition to its native file format, QuarkCopyDesk lets you open and save files in a
lightweight file format. This format can be useful in situations where file size is an
issue. Where the QuarkCopyDesk format includes all content in a project, the
lightweight file format includes only those items that a QuarkCopyDesk user is supposed
to work on. The lightweight file format can also contain a page picture to show what
the layout looks like, either within the article file or as a separate file.
Articles and QuarkXPress
The QuarkCopyDesk file format is based on the QuarkXPress file format. Consequently,
you can open a QuarkXPress project in QuarkCopyDesk. You cannot open a
QuarkCopyDesk article in QuarkXPress, but you can import the contents of an article's
components into text boxes and picture boxes.
A QuarkXPress project can contain items that have been marked as articles. Use the
Reflow Tagging palette to mark items as Articles. To create articles in QuarkXPress,
you must have the Multiple Articles XTensions module loaded. After you have created
articles in QuarkXPress, you can either open the project file in QuarkCopyDesk or
export the articles as article files (in either the QuarkCopyDesk file format or the
QuarkCopyDesk lightweight file format).
32 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
ARTICLES AND COMPONENTS
When you open a QuarkXPress project in QuarkCopyDesk:
• If the project contains an article, QuarkCopyDesk lets you edit the contents of the
components in that article. Non-article content is displayed if you are in WYSIWYG
view, but it cannot be edited.
• If the project contains more than one article, QuarkCopyDesk displays a dialog box
and asks you to choose one of the articles.
• If the project does not contain articles, and all of its layouts are Print layouts, you can
view the contents of the project's layouts but you cannot edit them. (Use the tabs at
the bottom of the article window to navigate between layouts.)
• If the layout contains more than one layer, all items on all visible layers are available
in QuarkCopyDesk. There is no such thing as switching between layers in
QuarkCopyDesk; all components from every visible layer are available at all times.
QuarkCopyDesk keeps track of which items are on which layers internally, though,
so if you edit such an article in QuarkCopyDesk and then open the project in
QuarkXPress, all items remain on the layers where they were.
Components on layers that are suppressed cannot be printed from QuarkCopyDesk.
WYSIWYG view
QuarkCopyDesk gives you three ways to look at the components in an article: Full
Screen view, Galley view, and WYSIWYG view. Full Screen view and Galley view are
designed to let you concentrate on the text, and WYSIWYG view is designed to show
you what the text looks like in the context of the layout.
When you use WYSIWYG view, you see a visual representation of the actual layout.
You can identify the components that are included in an article by their colored
outline. Items from the layout that are not included in the article are neither selectable
nor editable.
WYSIWYG view is relevant only to QuarkXPress projects that contain articles and
articles that were exported from QuarkXPress layouts.
Overset and underset
If a text story in a QuarkXPress text box is too long, the box overflows and the last
part of the text does not display. (There are exceptions to this rule, but this is a common
scenario.) The portion of text that does not display in this scenario is called overset. If
there is not enough text to fill the space available, this is called underset. Copyfitting is
the process of working with text until it fits the available space.
If you are working in WYSIWYG mode, an overset occurs when the last text box in a
chain overflows and new pages are created at the end of the article. In Galley view
and Full Screen view, the Measurements palette includes a Depth field that indicates
when text is underset, fit, and overset. Galley view and Full Screen view also include
special characters that indicate column breaks, page breaks, and overset. (Keep in mind:
Overset can only occur in an article that was created in QuarkXPress.)
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 33
ARTICLES AND COMPONENTS
Picture components
In WYSIWYG mode, pictures display as they display in the source layout. In Full Screen
view and Galley view, QuarkCopyDesk displays cropped views of pictures.
Technically there is no such thing as overset and underset for pictures. However, in
QuarkXPress you can specify effective resolution requirements for various types of
pictures, and QuarkCopyDesk will alert you if the picture in a picture component does
not adhere to those requirements. (Effective resolution is the resolution at which a
picture will be imaged; it is equal to resolution divided by scaling.)
Geometry
The shapes and positions of items in a QuarkXPress layout are collectively referred to
as geometry. A layout's geometry is, essentially, the collection of boxes and lines in that
layout.
When you open an article exported from QuarkXPress in QuarkCopyDesk,
QuarkCopyDesk displays the layout's geometry in WYSIWYG view. Text boxes that
are designated as part of the article display as text components, and picture boxes that
are part of the article display as picture components. You can edit the contents of
components that are part of the article in QuarkCopyDesk, but you cannot edit the
geometry of the layout.
Anchored boxes
In QuarkXPress, you can paste a box into a text story so that it flows along with the
text like a character. Such a box is called an anchored box. You can work with the
contents of an anchored box in QuarkCopyDesk, but you cannot create an anchored
box in QuarkCopyDesk.
If you open a QuarkXPress project with an article that contains an anchored box,
QuarkCopyDesk displays the anchored box inline. You can edit the contents of such
a box in all three view modes.
If an article contains an anchored table, you can edit the contents of the table only in
WYSIWYG view. An anchored table displays as an icon in Full Screen and Galley views.
Working with articles
An article is basically a container for components. You can open article files that were
exported from QuarkXPress or create articles from scratch in QuarkCopyDesk.
Creating articles
When you create an article, you can choose whether the article will consist of single
pages or of spreads with left- and right-facing pages. You also have the option to create
up to 30 columns and specify the width between the columns.
To create an article, choose File > New > Article (Command+/Ctrl+N). Use the controls
in the New Article dialog box to configure your article.
• To specify page size, choose an option from the Size drop-down menu. To create a
custom-sized page, enter dimensions in the Width and Height fields.
34 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
ARTICLES AND COMPONENTS
• To specify page orientation, click Portrait or Landscape.
• Use the Default Story Direction controls to specify horizontal or vertical direction
for the article.
• Check Facing Pages to specify that the article contains both left-facing and right-facing
pages. When you check Facing Pages the Left and Right fields in the Margin Guides
area change to Inside and Outside.
• To specify the position of the margin guides, enter values in the fields in the Margin
Guides area.
• To specify the number of columns on article pages and the spacing between them,
enter values in the Columns and Gutter Width fields.
Use the New Article dialog box to set up an article.
Saving articles automatically
The Auto Save feature protects your work from power and system failures. When Auto
Save is on, QuarkCopyDesk automatically records changes made to all articles and
saves them to your article folder. Auto saves are performed at user-defined intervals
(during idle time, if possible).
To turn on the Auto Save feature, display the Open and Save pane of the Preferences
dialog box (Edit/QuarkCopyDesk menu), check Auto Save, and enter an interval in
the minutes field
QuarkCopyDesk does not overwrite the original files until you choose File > Save.
When you choose File > Save, the auto-saved version is deleted, and the interval starts
again.
Auto Save only works with saved articles. If you have an unnamed article that was

ARTICLES AND COMPONENTS
Recovering an Auto Saved article
To recover an auto-saved article after a system or power failure, choose File > Open
and locate the article. Two files will be displayed in the dialog box: the original article
and the auto-saved version. Open the original article; it will be combined with the
auto-saved version as it is opened. When you open the article, an alert will display.
Click OK to continue.
The auto-saved article retains changes made until the last auto save occurred. Depending
on your auto save interval, you may have lost a few minutes of work. At this point,
you can save the article with its auto-saved changes (File > Save), or you can reject
the auto-saved changes and return to the last manually saved version of the article
(File > Revert to Saved).
Saving articles as templates
A template is a preformatted article that is protected from overwriting. You should
create templates for any articles that will use the same format and specifications.
Templates should include all essential style sheets, colors, H&Js, and lists that will be
used in articles based on the template.
To save an article as a template, choose File > Save As and choose Template from the
Type drop-down menu. You can modify a template by saving it again with the Save
as command (File menu).

CONTENT VARIABLES
Content variables
A content variable is an item you insert in your article that varies according to the
context. For example, the Last Page Number variable displays the page number of
the last page of the article. If you add or remove pages, the variable is updated
accordingly.
QuarkCopyDesk includes the following preset content variables that you can insert
in your article:
• Creation Date
• Current Page Number
• File Name
• Last Page Number
• Modification Date
• Next Page Number
• Output Date
• Previous Page Number
You can edit the format of these variables, or you can create your own.
In addition to the set of pre-defined variables, you can create the following additional
text type variables:
• Custom Variable: You can combine a text string with other pre-defined variables to
make a combination.
• Running Header: This variable type allows you to choose source data within the article
by referring to a paragraph or character style sheet. This variable type can be applied
in the master page so that the running headers are automatically updated. For example,
a left side page can have book title and on right side page can have Chapter/Section title.
• Page Reference: This variable is used to create a reference to an existing layout object
using the existing Anchors feature, and allows you to refer to that object elsewhere in
the article, including the page number for the referred to object.
• Static Text: With this you can create a simple static text variable that can be inserted
throughout the article. For example, if you want to refer to a company name across a
article consistently and want to make any changes to it in one go, this variable can
be useful.

• Flow Box Page Number: This variable inserts the page number where the current box
continues (or where the current box is continuing from) if the current box spans
multiple pages that may not be contiguous. From the Context drop-down menu,
choose either Next Box or Previous Box to specify whether to insert the page number
where this box continues or where it is continuing from.
• Last Page Number: This variable inserts the last page number of the current article into
the article. The Last Page Number type is useful for adding the total number of pages
in a article to headers and footers using the common Page 3 of 12 format. In this case,
the number 12 is generated by the Last Page Number, and is updated whenever pages
are added or removed. From the Scope drop-down menu, choose an option to

TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
Text and typography
Text is an integral part of nearly every publication. QuarkCopyDesk 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,
QuarkCopyDesk includes such features as finding and changing text and its attributes,
spell checking, custom spelling dictionaries, and a font usage utility for making
article-wide changes to text formatting.
Typography is the art of making the appearance of your text convey the tone or
meaning of the content. QuarkCopyDesk lets you control the tone of your text by
letting you adjust every facet of typography, including typefaces, type styles, leading,
and spacing.
The
icon indicates text features that are considered East Asian features and are only
available when you have the East Asian preference enabled (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit (
> Preferences > East Asian).
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.
Importing and exporting text
To import text, do one of the following:
44 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• Place the text insertion point where you want text to be inserted, and then choose
File > Import. Check Convert Quotes option to convert double hyphens to em dashes
and convert foot or inch marks to typesetter's apostrophes and quotation marks. Check
Include Style Sheets to import style sheets from a Microsoft Word or WordPerfect
file or convert "XPress Tags" to formatted text.
• Drag a text file from the file system onto a text component.
• Drag text from another application onto a text component.
• Drag a text file from the file system onto a picture component and press Command/Ctrl
to make the component accept the text.
• Drag text from another application onto a picture component and press Command/Ctrl
to make the component accept the text.
To export text, first either place the text insertion point in a text component (if you
want to save all of the text in that component) or select the text you want to export.
Then choose File > Save Text, choose an option from the Format pop-up menu, enter
a name, choose a location, and then click Save.

Importing and exporting text with Unicode options
You can specify an encoding type when importing text and exporting text. The
encoding type specifies the byte sequence used to represent each glyph in text. When
working with international text or HTML text, you can choose the appropriate encoding
to convert all the characters in the file to Unicode. The options work as follows:
• The Import dialog box includes an Encoding drop-down menu when a plain text or
"XPress Tags" text file is selected. The software attempts to determine the encoding of
selected text files and apply an appropriate encoding type. You can, however, choose
a different option for text.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 45
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• The Save Text dialog box provides an Encoding drop-down menu when you're
exporting text in plain text or "XPress Tags" format.
• The Convert Quotes option continues to convert straight quotes to typesetter's
quotation marks and double hyphens to em dashes.

Applying type styles
To apply a type style to selected text, do one of the following things:
56 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• Choose Style > Type Style and choose a type style from the submenu.
• (Windows only): Choose Style > Character and click check boxes in the Type Style
area.
• Choose a type style from the Text Styles drop-down menu in the Measurements
palette. Apply bold and italic type styles using the icons to the left of the Text Styles
drop-down menu. To remove all styles from selected text, choose Remove All Styles
from the Text Styles drop-down menu.
Intrinsic fonts are distinct font styles built into font families, such as “Times New
Roman MT Std Bd” in the “Times New Roman MT Std” font family.
Simulated fonts are plain intrinsic fonts that have been modified to simulate bold,
italic, or bold italic. When a font family does not include a bold or italic variation as
a separate intrinsic font, you can apply the bold and italic type styles to allow your
operating system to perform a transform to create a bold or italic rendition of the font.
The result is a simulated font.
When you apply bold to a plain font, the application first tries to find an intrinsic
bold version of the font, and then if it can't find such a font, it creates a simulated
bold version of the font.
Warning icons identify simulated fonts in a layout because simulated fonts can cause
output problems. Simulated fonts display with a warning icon in the Measurements
palette, the Glyphs palette, the Character Attributes dialog box, the Style > Type
Style submenu, the Edit Character Style Sheet dialog box, the Change To area of
the Find/Change palette, the Fonts pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu),
the Replace Font dialog box accessible from the Usage dialog box, and the Character
Attributes tab of the Rubi dialog box.
Applying color, shade, and opacity
To apply color, shade, and opacity to selected text, do one of the following things:
• Choose options from the Style > Color, Style > Shade, and Style > Opacity submenus.
• Display the Colors palette (Window > Show Colors), click a color, and then choose

Working with font sets
Font sets let you control how different types of characters — such as Alphabetic
(Roman) and Han characters — display when they occur together in text.
You can create a new font set in the Edit Font Set dialog box (Edit > Font Sets). Each
font set is composed of a set of font types, each of which has its own settings.
Use the Edit Font Set dialog box to configure a font set.
For each type in a font set, you can control the following:
• Font: Specify a font for each type of character group.
• Relative Size: Specify the relative size of each font based on the font size used in the
layout. For example, if the font size in your layout is 12 points, and you specify a
relative setting of 200%, the font displays at 24 points.
• Baseline Shift: Specify a value to raise or lower the font from its baseline.
• Scale Direction: Specify whether the font is scaled horizontally or vertically.
• Scale Amount: Specify the amount of horizontal or vertical scaling.
The Sample Text area of the dialog box displays sample text that uses each of the
fonts in the font set.
You can apply a font set to text in the same way that you apply a font to text. Simply
select the text and choose a font set from the font drop-down menu in the
Measurements palette. Font sets display at the top of the list.

4 Click OK.
Aligning characters on a line
The Character Alignment feature gives you several options for aligning small
characters in a line of text to the largest character in a line of text. You can align
characters based on their baselines, their em boxes, or their ICF boxes.
Em boxes are the bounding boxes of characters. The ideographic character face (ICF) box
is a boundary inside the em box beyond which a glyph cannot extend. ICF boxes are
necessary to ensure that glyphs in an East Asian text flow do not touch each other.
The red area in the diagram below represents the boundaries of the em box. The yellow
area represents the ICF box.
Red represents the em box. Yellow represents the ICF box.
You can align smaller characters with the largest characters that appear in the same
line of text in one of following ways:
60 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• Choose an option from the Style > Character Alignment submenu.
• (Windows only): Choose Style > Formats and choose an option from the Char Align

• (Mac OS X only): Choose an option from the Char Align drop-down menu on the
Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette..
The alignment options are:
• ICF Box Top: Aligns small characters with the top of the ICF box.
• Embox Top: Aligns small characters with the top edge of the em box of the largest
character in a line of horizontal text.
• Embox Bottom: Aligns small characters with the bottom edge of the em box of the
largest character in a line of horizontal text.
• Embox Centered: Aligns small characters with the center of the em box of the largest
character.
• Embox Right: Aligns small characters with the right edge of the em box of the largest
character in a line of vertical text.
• Embox Left: Aligns small characters with the left edge of the em box of the largest
character in a line of vertical text.
• Roman Baseline: Aligns small characters with the baseline of the largest character.
• ICF Box Bottom: Aligns small characters with the bottom of the ICF box.

Applying multiple character attributes
You can view and edit all character attributes at one time using the Character
Attributes dialog box (Style > Character) on Windows, or by using the Paragraph tab
of the Measurements palette on Mac OS X.
Blank fields and gray check boxes indicate that multiple styles are applied to selected
text. For example, if the Font field is blank, then more than one font is applied to the
selected text.
If you enter a value in a blank field, that value will be applied to all the selected text.
If you check or uncheck a gray check box, that style setting will be applied to or
removed from all selected text.
62 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
Use the Character Attributes dialog box to format text.
Applying paragraph attributes
Paragraph attributes are formatting options that apply to a paragraph as a whole. They
include alignment, indents, leading, and tab settings. To apply attributes to selected
paragraphs, use the Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette
and on Windows you can also use the Paragraph Attributes dialog box (Windows
only) (Style > Formats).
You can copy any applied paragraph formats from one paragraph to other paragraphs
in the same box or text chain. To copy applied paragraph formats, select the paragraph
or range of paragraphs that you want to change, then press Option+/Alt+Shift while
clicking anywhere in the paragraph with the formats you want to copy. Copying
paragraph formats in this way will not change any character attributes.
Controlling alignment
You can choose from five paragraph alignments: Left, Centered, Right, Justified, and
Forced. The Forced option aligns all lines between the left and right indentations, like
the Justified option, but also justifies the last line (if there is a return at the end of the
paragraph).
To set the alignment of selected text, do one of the following things:
• Choose an alignment from the Style > Alignment submenu.
• Click an alignment icon in the Measurements palette.
• Use one of the keyboard commands below.

Controlling indentation
Use the following fields to specify the indents:
• To specify how far a paragraph is indented from the left edge of a box or column, enter
a value in the Left Indent field.
• To specify how far the first line of a paragraph is indented from the Left Indent value,
enter a value in the First Line field. Note that First Line indentation is relative to the
Left Indent applied to a paragraph. For example, if you specify a Left Indent of .5",
and a First Line indentation of .5", the first line will begin 1" from the left edge of the
text box.
• To specify how far a paragraph is indented from the right edge of a box or column,
enter a value in the Right Indent field. Click OK.
• To create a hanging indentation, specify a positive Left Indent and a negative First
Line indentation or drag the indentation icons on the column ruler. In Windows,
you can use the Apply button in the Formats tab of the Paragraph Attributes dialog
box (Style > Formats) to experiment with the hanging indentation.
In addition to setting hanging indents as a paragraph attribute, you can enter a special
character that forces the indenting of all lines of text from that point to the next
paragraph return. Press Command+\ (Mac OS X) or Ctrl+\ (Windows) to enter a special
Indent Here character. (The Indent Here character is an invisible character; to view
invisible characters, choose View > Invisibles (Command+I/Ctrl+I.)
Controlling leading
Leading is a measure of line spacing — the distance between text baselines in
paragraphs. When you specify a leading value, it is applied to all lines in selected
paragraphs. You can specify leading by three methods:
64 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• Absolute leading sets the distance between baselines of text to a specific value, regardless
of the size of characters on the lines. For example, if you specify an absolute leading
value of 16 points for a paragraph, all baselines will be spaced 16 points apart. When
specifying absolute leading, use a value that is the total vertical distance you want
between text baselines.
• Incremental auto leading combines a base amount of auto leading with an absolute value
specified in the Leading field. Incremental leading values must be preceded by a plus
(+) or minus (–) sign.
• Auto leading means the application uses the value in the Auto Leading field
(QuarkCopyDesk /Edit > Preferences > Print Layout > Paragraph pane) to decide
whether percentage-based or incremental auto leading occurs. The default —
percentage-based — takes the base amount of auto leading and adds to it a fixed
percentage of the largest font size on the upper line to determine the total amount of
leading between an auto-leaded line and the line above it. The default value for
percentage-based auto leading is 20%. To specify auto leading, enter auto in the
Leading field.
To set the alignment of selected paragraphs, do one of the following things:
• (Windows only) : Choose Style > Leading, then enter an absolute leading value, an
incremental leading value (preceded by a plus or minus sign), or auto in the Leading
field.
• Use the Leading controls in the Measurements palette.
• Use one of the keyboard commands below.
Mac OS X
• Decrease 1 pt: Command+Shift+:
• Decrease .1 pt: Command+Option+Shift+:
• Increase 1 pt: Command+Shift+"
• Increase .1 pt: Command+Option+Shift+"

• Decrease 1 pt: Ctrl+Shift+:
• Decrease .1 pt: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+:
• Increase 1 pt: Ctrl+Shift+"
• Increase .1 pt: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+"
Controlling space before and after paragraphs
Space Before and Space After controls let you specify the amount of space before and
after selected paragraphs.
To set the space before and after selected paragraphs, choose Style > Formats, then
enter values in the Space Before or Space After fields.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 65
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
Setting tabs
You can choose from six kinds of tab stops:
• Left aligns text flush left on the tab stop.
• Center aligns text centrally on that tab stop.
• Right aligns text flush right on the tab stop.
• Decimal aligns text on a decimal point (period).
• Comma aligns text on a first comma.
• Align On aligns text on any character you specify. When you select this tab, the Align
On field displays. Select the existing entry, and enter the character to align on.
If you do not set custom tabs, the application sets default left-aligned tabs every
half-inch.
To apply tabs to selected paragraphs, use the controls in the Tabs tab of the Paragraph
Attributes dialog box (Style > Tabs).
Controlling widow and orphan lines
Widows and orphans are two kinds of typographically undesirable lines. Traditionally,
a widow is defined as the last line of a paragraph that falls at the top of a column. An
orphan is the first line of a paragraph that falls at the bottom of a column.
Using the Keep Lines Together feature, you can choose not to break paragraphs, so
that if all the lines in a paragraph do not fit in a column or on a page, the whole
paragraph will flow to the top of the next column or page. Alternatively, you can
specify the number of lines that must be left at the bottom of a column or box, and
at the top of the following column or box, when a paragraph is broken. 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.
It is common to specify Keep with Next ¶ for headline and subhead style sheets and
specify Keep Lines Together (usually with Start and End parameters) for body text
style sheets.
To turn the Keep Lines Together and Keep with Next ¶ features on or off for selected
paragraphs:
• (Windows only): Choose Style > Formats to display the Formats tab of the Paragraph
Attributes dialog box, then check or uncheck Keep Lines Together and Keep with
Next ¶
• (Mac OS X only):Use the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette.
Working with non-breaking character sets
Non-breaking characters are characters that cannot begin or end a line, and also
which cannot be separated from each other at line breaks. The Non-Breaking Character
Set dialog box (Edit > NonBreaking Character Sets) includes default non-breaking
66 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
character sets for Japanese Strong, Japanese Weak, Korean Standard, Simplified
Chinese Standard and Traditional Chinese Standard.
To create custom non-breaking character sets:
1 Choose Edit > Non-Breaking Character Sets. The Non-Breaking Character Sets
dialog box displays.
2 Click New.
3 Enter a name in the Name field.
4 Enter characters in the Enter characters that cannot begin a line field, the Enter
characters that cannot end a line field, and the Enter non-separable characters

5 Click OK.
6 Click Save.
To apply a non-breaking character set to a paragraph, choose one from the
Non-Breaking Char Set drop-down menu in the Edit Hyphenation & Justification
dialog box (Edit > H&Js > Edit).
Controlling kerning
Kerning is the adjustment of space between character pairs. Because of their shapes,
certain character pairs look better when kerned. You can use automatic kerning, and
you can also use manual kerning controls to specify additional kerning between
characters.
Kerning values are expressed as ½00 of an em space. A positive kerning value increases
the amount of space between characters; a negative value decreases it.
Kerning manually
To apply kerning between two characters, do one of the following things:
• (Windows only) : Choose Style > Kern and enter a value in the Kern Amount field.
Click OK.
• Use the Kern Amount controls in the Measurements palette.
• Use one of the keyboard commands below.
Mac OS X
• Decrease 1/20-em: Command+Shift+{
• Increase 1/20-em: Command+Shift+}
• Decrease 1/200-em: Command+Option+Shift+{

the Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu), check Auto Kern Above,
and enter a value in the field.
Controlling hyphenation and justification
A hyphenation and justification (H&J) specification is a named package of settings for
hyphenating words that go over the margin of a line of text and for justifying spaces
between words and characters. You can apply H&Js to individual paragraphs, or you
can associate an H&J with a paragraph style sheet. Use the Edit Hyphenation &
Justification dialog box (Edit > H&Js > New) to control these settings.
The Edit Hyphenation & Justification dialog box
• Auto Hyphenation: Specify whether automatic hyphenation is allowed.
• Smallest Word: Specify the minimum number of characters a word must contain to
allow hyphenation.
• Minimum Before: Specify the minimum number of characters before a hyphen.
• Minimum After: Specify the minimum number of characters after a hyphen.
68 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• Break Capitalized Words: Specify whether hyphenation of capitalized words is allowed.
• 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.
• Hyphenation Zone: For words containing Roman characters, 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.
• Justification Method: Specify how words and characters are spaced.
• Space: Specify the minimum and maximum amount of space between words in
paragraphs that have justified or forced alignment. Specify the optimum amount of
space between words in all paragraphs, regardless of their alignment.
• Char: Specify the minimum and maximum amount of space between characters in
paragraphs that have justified or forced alignment. Specify the optimum amount of
space between characters in all paragraphs, regardless of their alignment.
•
Non-Breaking Char Set: Choose a non-breaking character set from the drop-down
menu. For more information about non-breaking character sets, see "Working with
non-breaking character sets."
•
Non Breaking Method: Choose a non-breaking method from the drop-down
menu. When the last character in a line of justified text is a non-breaking character
that cannot end a line, Run Back pulls the first character of the next line up to the
current line, based on the value in the Min. field. Run Down pushes the character to
the next line, based on the value in the Max. field. For more information about
non-breaking characters, see "Working with non-breaking character sets."
•
R Space: Specify the amount of space between words containing Roman characters
in justified paragraphs. Specify the optimum amount of space between words containing
Roman characters in all paragraphs, regardless of their alignment.

space between East Asian punctuation characters in all paragraphs, regardless of their
alignment.
•
Kana/Hangul/ZhuYin: Specify the minimum and maximum amount of space
between Kana, Hangul, or Zhu Yin characters in justified paragraphs. Specify the
optimum amount of space between Kana, Hangul, or Zhu Yin characters in all
paragraphs, regardless of their alignment.
•
Han: Specify the minimum and maximum amount of space between Han characters
in justified paragraphs. Specify the optimum amount of space between Han characters
in all paragraphs, regardless of their alignment.

TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
•
R Char: Specify the minimum and maximum amount of space between Roman
characters in justified paragraphs. Specify the optimum amount of space between
Roman characters in all paragraphs, regardless of their alignment.
• Flush Zone: Specify the area before the right indentation within which the last word
in the last line of a justified paragraph must fall in order to justify that line. For
example, if you enter 1", the last line of a paragraph to which the hyphenation and
justification specification is applied will not be justified until the last word in the line
falls within 1" of the right indentation.
• Single Word Justify: Specify whether a single word on a line in a justified paragraph
extends from the left indentation to the right indentation. When the box is unchecked,
a single word on a line is left-aligned.
•
Break on Spaces: Specify whether Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text breaks on
spaces.
To enable/ disable justification settings for East Asian text categories of EA Punct, Han,
Kana/ Hangul/ ZhuYin specified in H&J, go to Preferences > Layout > General
Specifying hyphenation exceptions
In QuarkCopyDesk, you can create language-specific lists of hyphenation exceptions.
The Hyphenation Exceptions dialog box (Utilities > Hyphenation Exceptions >
Edit) has a Language drop-down menu that lets you specify which language a
hyphenation exception applies to. When a paragraph is automatically hyphenated,
the application checks the list of hyphenation exceptions for the appropriate paragraph
language.
The Hyphenation Exceptions dialog box
The Suggested Hyphenation dialog box (Utilities menu) displays the recommended
hyphenation of a word that is based on the hyphenation method specified for the
paragraph and the hyphenation exceptions for the paragraph's language.

TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
Using discretionary hyphens
In addition to hyphenating text automatically, you can control line breaks and text
flow by inserting manual, or discretionary, hyphens (Command+- [hyphen]/Ctrl+[hyphen]). A discretionary hyphen is inserted only when a word is broken at the end
of a line.
Controlling tracking
Tracking lets you adjust the space between selected characters and words for copyfitting
and typographic effects. Tracking values are expressed as ½00 of an em space. A positive
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.
These are general rules; appropriate tracking values depend on the design, font, column
width, and other factors.
Tracking manually
To apply tracking to selected text, do one of the following things:
• (Windows only) : Choose Style > Track, enter a value in the Track Amount field, and
then click OK.
• Use the Track Amount controls in the Measurements palette.
• Use one of the keyboard commands below.
Mac OS X
• Decrease 1/20-em: Command+Shift+{
• Increase 1/20-em: Command+Shift+}

Sheet" name.
• Keyboard Equivalent: To define a keyboard command for the style sheet, enter one
in the Keyboard Equivalent field. You can enter any combination of Command,
Option, Shift, or Control/Ctrl or Ctrl+Alt, along with a function or keypad key.
• Based On: To base the attributes of a new style sheet on an existing one, choose a
style sheet from the Based On drop-down menu.
Next, choose character attributes from the lower section of the Edit Character Style
Sheet dialog box. When you're done, click OK to return to the Style Sheets dialog
box, then click Save to save the style sheet. After you save a character style sheet, it is
listed in the Character Style Sheet submenu (Style menu) and also in the Style Sheets

Updating character style sheets
When you select text that has uniform local formatting applied, you can update the
style sheet applied to that text to include the local formatting by clicking the Update
button
. Alternatively, you can choose Style > Update Style Sheet > Character.
To update both the paragraph style sheet and the character style sheet applied to text
so that they reflect local formatting, choose Style > Update Style Sheet > Both.
Applying style sheets
To apply a style sheet to selected text, do one of the following things:
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 75
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• Choose the style sheet name from the Style > Paragraph Style Sheet submenu or the
Style > Character Style Sheet submenu.
• Display the Style Sheets palette (Window menu) and then click the style sheet name
in the palette.
• Use the keyboard command (if any) displayed next to the style sheet name in the
Style Sheets palette.
In addition, the Style Sheets palette menu and the context menu for style sheets
provide the following options:
• Apply Style Sheet & Retain Local Type Styles: Applies the selected style sheet, leaving
only local type styles (such as bold and italic) intact.
• Apply Style Sheet & Retain Local Type Styles & OpenType Styles: Applies the selected
style sheet, leaving both local type styles (such as bold and italic) and OpenType type
styles intact.
• Apply Style Sheet & Remove Local Formatting: Applies the selected style sheet and
removes all local formatting. Equivalent to Option/Alt-clicking the style sheet name.
• Apply Style Sheet & Remove Local Paragraph Formatting: Applies the selected style
sheet and removes only local paragraph formatting. All local character formatting is
left intact.
• Apply Style Sheet & Maintain Appearance: Applies the selected style sheet, plus any
local formatting necessary to maintain the paragraph's current appearance.
If you use one of the following commands, QuarkCopyDesk applies the indicated
paragraph style sheet to the selected text, then if that style sheet has a specified Next
Style, applies that style to the following paragraph. This process continues until
QuarkCopyDesk encounters a paragraph that does not have a specified Next Style.
The options for this feature are as follows:
• Apply Using Next Style: Applies style sheets using Next Style.
• Apply Using Next Style & Retain Local Type Styles: Applies style sheets using Next
Style, leaving local type styles (such as bold and italic) intact.
• Apply Using Next Style & Retain Local Type Styles & OpenType Style: Applies style
sheets using Next Style, leaving both local type styles (such as bold and italic) and
OpenType type styles intact.
• Apply Using Next Style & Remove Local Formatting: Applies style sheets using Next
Style, plus any local formatting necessary to maintain each paragraph's current
appearance.
When local paragraph or character attributes exist in selected text, a plus sign displays
next to the style sheet name in the Style Sheets palette. To remove local attributes,
click No Style and then reselect the style sheet, or Option+click/Alt+click the style
sheet name.

Appending style sheets
To import paragraph and character style sheets from a different article or project,
choose File > Append, navigate to the target article or project file, then display the
Style Sheets pane and import the style sheets you want.
If a style sheet from the source file has the same name as a style sheet in the target
project, but is defined differently, the Append Conflict dialog box displays. You can
use this dialog box to determine how such conflicts are handled.
Working with conditional styles
Conditional styles let you automatically apply formatting to text based on the content
of that text. For example, consider the text-formatting conventions shown in the
following image:
Text that can be formatted with conditional styles
The conventions used here could be described like so:
1 Apply the Headline paragraph style sheet to the first paragraph.
2 Apply the Bold Body character style sheet to the first sentence of the second paragraph.
3 Apply the Body paragraph style sheet until you get to the end of the story.
4 When you get to the end, turn around and apply the Byline character style sheet
backwards until you get to an em dash.
Each step is executed only after the previous step executes, and at the point in the text
where the previous step leaves off. If any step fails, the rest of the steps are not executed.
The Conditional Styles feature lets you capture such instructions and apply them
automatically to text. For example, you could implement the above conventions with
the following conditional style:
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 77
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
A conditional style that produces the above formatting
Once you've captured these rules in a conditional style, you can style a run of text by
simply selecting it and then clicking the conditional style's name in the Conditional
Styles palette.
Conditional Styles palette
It is important to understand that conditional styles are applied at the paragraph level.
Each paragraph can have only one conditional style applied to it. If a paragraph does
not have a conditional style applied to it, it cannot be reformatted by a conditional
style that is applied to a different paragraph.
It is also important to understand that when you apply a conditional style to a sequence
of paragraphs, that conditional style affects only that series of paragraphs. If a
conditional style is applied to a series of paragraphs at the beginning of a story and
to a series of paragraphs at the end of the same story, they cannot affect one another,
even if (for example) the series at the beginning of the story includes a rule with an
End of the Story reference.

Removing conditional styles
There are two ways to remove conditional styles from text to which they have been
applied:
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 81
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• To remove the conditional styles from the selected paragraphs and revert the text to
its underlying paragraph style sheets, choose Revert to Base Style from the Conditional
Styles palette menu.
• To remove the conditional styles from the selected paragraphs and leave the styling
applied by the conditional styles in place, click No Conditional Style in the
Conditional Styles palette or choose Resolve Conditional Style from the Conditional
Styles palette menu.
Using conditional style markers
If there is no natural aspect of a text flow (such as a particular character or the end of
a sentence) where you can stop or start the application of a conditional style, you can
insert a zero-width character called a conditional style marker. For example, assume you
have a plain text file that contains a series of multi-paragraph articles, each with a
one-paragraph headline. You can still use conditional styles to format them, like so:
1 Insert a conditional style marker at the beginning of each headline. To insert a
conditional style marker, choose Utilities > Insert Character > Special > Conditional
Style Marker.
Plain text with conditional style markers (highlighted in yellow)
2 Create a conditional style that applies the Headline paragraph style sheet to the first
paragraph and the Body style sheet until the next occurrence of a conditional style
marker. At the bottom of the Edit Conditional Style dialog box, check Repeat
Conditional Style At and select Conditional Style Marker.

Bullets and numbering
Rather than using manually created and formatted bullets and numbers, you can create
bulleted and numbered lists with bullet styles, numbering styles, and outline styles.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 83
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. You can also choose whether to include the
numbers from previous levels, as you would in some types of outline.
In addition to the settings in bullet, numbering, and outline styles, there is a paragraph
attribute called Minimum Bullet/Number Distance from Text:
• (Windows) Style > Formats > Formats tab
• (Mac OS X) On the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette
This value lets you handle situations where a left-aligned or center-aligned number is
pushing into the paragraph.
To apply or remove a bullet, numbering, or outline style, use the Style > Bullets and
Numbers submenu.
To increase and decrease the indent level of a paragraph:
• (Windows only): Use the Style > Increase Indent and Style > Decrease Indent
commands.
• Use the Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette.
Working with bullet styles
A bullet style describes how a bullet should look, how far it should be from the text,
and how it should be aligned.
To create a bullet style, choose Edit > Bullet, Numbering, and Outline Styles, then
choose Bullet Style from the New button in the Bullet, Numbering, and Outline
Styles dialog box. The Edit Bullet Style dialog box displays.

formatting for the bullet, or choose a character style sheet to use that character style
sheet's formatting.
Enter the actual bullet character or characters in the Bullet Characters field.
If you are inheriting the bullet's formatting from the paragraph, you can change the
size of the bullet character or characters using the Size field.
The Outset value controls how far the bullet is from the paragraph. You can specify
this distance in Absolute units, or click Relative (in Ems) and specify the value in em
spaces. The Relative (in Ems) option may be preferable when you will be using the
bullet style with different-sized text.
Bullet outset
Alignment controls how the bullet aligns to the outset point.
Left-aligned, center-aligned, and right-aligned bullets
You can apply a bullet style in three ways:
• By choosing the bullet style's name from the •/123 menu in the Paragraph/Paragraph
Attributes tab of the Measurements palette. If you do it this way, the bullet is
positioned to the left of the paragraph's first line indent by its Outset value.
• By choosing an outline style that uses the bullet style from the •/123 menu in the
Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette. 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."
Working with numbering styles
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.
To create a numbering style, choose Edit > Bullet, Numbering, and Outline Styles,
then choose Numbering Style from the New button in the Bullet, Numbering, and
Outline Styles dialog box. The Edit Numbering Style dialog box displays.

Edit Numbering Style dialog box
To control how the numbers are styled, choose an option from the Character Style
drop-down menu. Choose Inherit from Paragraph to use the paragraph's character
formatting for the numbers, or choose a character style sheet to use that character
style sheet's formatting.
Choose a number format from the Format drop-down menu.
If you want prefix or suffix characters around the number, enter them in the Prefix
and Suffix fields.
If you are inheriting the numbers' formatting from the paragraph, you can change the
size of the numbers using the Size field.
The Outset value controls how far each number is from the paragraph. You can specify
this distance in Absolute units, or click Relative (in Ems) and specify the value in em
spaces. The Relative (in Ems) option may be preferable when you will be using the
numbering style with different-sized text.
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/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.
• Choose an outline style that uses the numbering style from the •/123 menu in the
Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette. If you do it this
way, the numbers' positions are controlled by the outline style. For more information,
see "Working with outline styles."
• Associate the numbering style with a paragraph style sheet, then apply that style sheet
to the text. For more information, see "Bullets, numbering, outlines, and style sheets."
To change the starting number of a paragraph:
• (Windows only): Choose Style > Formats, check Restart Numbering, and enter a
starting number in the Start At field.
• (Mac OS X only): Use the Bullets and Numbers tab of the Measurements palette.

An outline style defines indents for up to nine indent levels. You can associate a bullet
or numbering style with each level. You can also choose whether to include the
numbers from previous levels, as you would in some types of outline.
To create an outline style, choose Edit > Bullet, Numbering, and Outline Styles, then
choose Outline Style from the New button in the Bullet, Numbering, and Outline
Styles dialog box. The Edit Outline Style dialog box displays.
Edit Outline Style dialog box
Each outline style has nine levels, although you do not have to use all nine. Each level
has an indent, which you can specify in the Indent field for that level. Indents are
applied cumulatively; if level 1 has a 6 pt indent and level 2 has a 6 pt indent, a
paragraph at level 2 is indented by 12 pt.
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.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 87
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
This diagram illustrates the relationship between level indents and bullet outsets. Numbering
outsets work the same way.
The Include Lower Levels/Separator column lets you choose to append the numbers
from lower levels to the beginning of a number, and to specify how the numbers from
the various levels are separated. For example, if you check this box for level 3 and
specify a period as the separator, the numbering for level-3 text might look like this:
1.3.1 This paragraph is at level 3.
1.3.2 This paragraph is at level 3.
1.3.3 This paragraph is at level 3.
To change the character inserted between levels for a given level, double-click to the
right of the Include Lower Levels/Separator check box and enter a new character or
characters.
When you include numbers from lower levels and use left or center number alignment,
there is a chance the numbers can extend to be longer than the number outset and
potentially overlap the text. To address this possibility:
• (Windows only): There is a paragraph attribute called Minimum Bullet/Number
Distance from Text (Style > Formats > Formats tab). If a number's length becomes
longer than the number outset, the application moves the paragraph text to the right
so that there is always this much distance between the number and the text.
• (Mac OS X only):The Minimum Bullet/Number Distance from Textparagraph attribute
can be found on the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette.

Positioning text in text boxes
The topics below cover several ways to control the vertical and horizontal positioning
of text in text boxes.
Specifying story direction
You can position text so that it runs left-to-right and top-to-bottom or top-to-bottom
and right-to-left. To specify a story direction, choose Style > Story Direction, and
then choose Horizontal or Vertical.
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 article. To replace every occurrence
of a font, select the font name, click Replace, and choose a replacement font.
90 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
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. When
this occurs, you can install the necessary font and reopen the document, or you can
use the Usage command to locate occurrences of the font and apply a different font.
Using text runaround
The text runaround feature lets you control the way text runs behind, around, or
within pictures. You can specify text to run around the actual picture, or you can
create custom runaround paths and then manually modify them.
Runaround is a great way to make a page visually distinctive.
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. Both
paths and alpha channels are typically used to determine which parts of an image
should be shown and which parts should be hidden or transparent.
If you import a picture that has an embedded path or alpha channel, you can use that
path or alpha channel to control the way text runs around that picture. More
specifically: The application can scan a path or channels and create a text runaround
path based on the information.
To apply text runaround to a picture component in front of a text box, select the
picture component, choose Style > Picture, click the Runaround tab, and then choose
an option from the Type drop-down menu:
• Choose None to run text behind the active picture component.
• Choose Item to run text around the picture component's boundaries. If the picture
component is rectangular, enter values in the Top, Left, Bottom, and Right fields to
outset or inset the runaround area. If the picture component is not rectangular, a single
Outset field is provided.
• Choose Auto Image to create a Bézier clipping and runaround path based on the
picture's non-white areas.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 91
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• Choose Embedded Path to run text around a path embedded in an image by an
image-editing application.
• Choose Alpha Channel to run text around an alpha channel embedded in an image
by an image-editing application.
• Choose Non-White Areas to create a runaround path based on the picture's subject.
Depending on the value in the Threshold field, the runaround path will outline a
dark figure within a larger white or near-white background (or vice versa).
• Choose Same As Clipping to set the text runaround path to the clipping path selected
in the Clipping tab.
• Choose Picture Bounds to run text around the rectangular "canvas area" of the
imported picture file. This includes any white background areas saved with your
original picture file. Enter values in the Top, Left, Bottom, and Right fields to
determine the outset or inset of the text from the picture's boundaries.
The inner path in the Preview area represents the runaround path, and the outer
outline represents the picture box.

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 (Item > Runaround) (Windows),
or the Runaround tab of the Measurements palette (Mac OS X), the following fields
let you manipulate the runaround path:
92 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
1 Outset changes the size of the runaround path. Positive values result in a runaround
path that is further from the original setting, negative values decrease the amount of
image included in the runaround path.
2 Noise lets you specify the smallest allowable closed path. Any closed path smaller than
the noise value is ignored. Noise values are useful for cleaning up runaround paths
and making them easier to output.
3 Smoothness lets you control path accuracy. A lower value creates a more complex
path with a greater number of points. A higher value creates a less accurate path.
4 Threshold determines how "white" is defined. All pixels defined as "white" are excluded.
For example, if the Threshold value is 20%, and a pixel's gray value is below or at
20%, the pixel will be considered "white" and excluded from the runaround path.
Editing a runaround path
To adjust a runaround path, check Runaround (Style > Edit). The runaround path
displays as a magenta outline. You can then edit the path as you would any Bézier
object.
You can also change the types of the runaround path's points and segments with the
controls in the Measurements palette. To change a point from one type to another,
use one of the following three buttons:
•
Symmetrical Point
: A symmetrical point connects two curved lines to form a
continuous curve. The result is similar to a smooth point, but the curve handles always
rest on a straight line through the point and are always equidistant from the point.
•
Smooth Point
: A smooth point connects two curved lines to form a continuous
curve. The curve handles always rest on a straight line through the point, but they
can be distanced independently.
•
Corner Point
: A corner point connects two straight lines, a straight line and a
curved line, or two noncontinuous curved lines. With curved lines, the corner point's
curve handles can be manipulated independently, usually to form a sharp transition
between the two segments.
To change the character of a line segment, use one of the following buttons:
•
•
Straight Segment
: Makes the active segment straight.
Curved Segment
: Makes the active segment curved.
You can also change point and segment types with the Style > Point/Segment Type
submenu.
Working with text paths
In QuarkXPress, a text path is a line to which you can add text. The text follows the
path of the line. In QuarkCopyDesk, you can edit the text on an existing text path,
but you cannot draw or edit the path itself.

Creating drop caps
Drop caps are initial caps that hang two or more lines below the first line of a paragraph.
The automatic Drop Caps feature enlarges the drop cap characters and runs the
paragraph around the drop caps automatically. The typeface and styles match the rest
of the paragraph.
To apply drop caps to a selected paragraph, display the Formats tab of the Paragraph
Attributes dialog box (Windows) or the Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the
Measurements palette, and check Drop Caps. To specify how many characters to use
as drop caps, enter a value from 1 to 127 in the Character Count field. To specify the
number of lines the characters are dropped, enter a value from 2 to 16 in the Line
Count field.
Drop caps are a great way to make text visually distinctive.
Drop caps are measured by percentage rather than by points. When you select a drop
cap, the default size is 100%.
Creating rules above and below paragraphs
Rules are frequently used above or below text to set off paragraphs, to indicate related
information, or just to add a graphic flair to page design. To create rules, use the Rules
tab of the Paragraph Attributes dialog box (Style menu) (Windows), or the Rules tab
of the Measurements palette (Mac OS X).
Working with OpenType fonts
OpenType is a cross-platform font format developed by Adobe and Microsoft that
accommodates large character sets and glyphs, often including fractions, discretionary
ligatures, old-style numerals, and more. When text has an OpenType font applied,
you can access any style options built into that font through the Character Attributes
dialog box (Style > Character) (Windows only), or the Character/Character Attributes
tab of the Measurements palette.
Learning about the distinction between characters and glyphs can help you understand
how OpenType styles work. A character is an element of a written language — uppercase
letters, lowercase letters, numerals, and punctuation are all characters. A glyph is
actually an image that represents a character, possibly in different forms. For example,
a standard numeral 1 is a character, whereas an old-style numeral 1 is a glyph. As
94 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
another example, an "f" and an "I" next to each other are characters, whereas an "fi"
ligature is a glyph.
A one-to-one relationship does not always exist between characters and glyphs. In
some cases, three characters (such as a 1, a virgule, and a 4) make up a single fraction
glyph. Or, one character may be represented by three possible glyphs (three different
ampersand symbols, for example). You can select individual characters for formatting
and editing, regardless of the glyphs used.
The fonts selected for Galley view and Full Screen view may not include an OpenType
glyph that is visible in WYSIWYG view. In such cases, a box is shown instead of the
OpenType glyph.
Some OpenType styles replace a series of characters (such as the three characters, "1/4")
with a single glyph. Such replacements are visible only in WYSIWYG view. In Galley
view and Full Screen view, each character is displayed separately, so that you can edit
it if necessary. Word and character counts are the same for every view, even when you
use composite glyphs.
Applying OpenType styles
You can apply an OpenType "style" to characters to display different, specially designed,
or repositioned glyphs within the current font. For example, you can apply Fractions
to access specific fraction glyphs instead of manually formatting fractions by resizing
and repositioning existing characters. Likewise, applying Standard Ligatures represents
characters according to ligatures available in the font. (See "Using ligatures" for more
information.) You can apply many styles in combination, although some, such as
Superscript and Subscript, are mutually exclusive.
To apply OpenType styles in the Character Attributes dialog box (Style > Character)
(Windows only), or the Character/Character Attributes tab of the Measurements
palette, and the Edit Character Attributes panes (Edit > Style Sheets) for setting up
character and paragraph style sheets, click the arrow next to OpenType to display the
styles, and then use the check boxes to apply styles. A check box that is unavailable
or a drop-down menu option in brackets indicates an OpenType style that the current
font does not support.

Alternate Forms: Apply alternate glyph forms, such as JIS2004, JIS78, JIS90,
Simplified, and Traditional. These glyph forms are specially designed for some Japanese
OpenType fonts.
Using ligatures
There are two methods for using ligatures: The legacy method or the OpenType method.
The legacy method supports standard ligatures such as fi and fl in PostScript fonts.
The OpenType method allows access to both standard ligatures and discretionary
ligatures in OpenType fonts. Both methods are applied as character attributes, meaning
that you can apply them to any selected text.
To apply ligatures to selected text, check Ligatures in the Character Attributes dialog
box (Style > Character).
Ligature preferences
You can set preferences for ligatures in the Character pane of the Preferences dialog
box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit > Preferences > Print Layout > Character):
• Break Above: The value in the field specifies a tracking or kerning value above which
ligatures will break apart. At the default value of 1, if you track text +1 (1/200th of an
em space), the ligatures revert to standard letters.
• Not "ffi" or "ffl": Check this box to prevent fi and fl ligatures in words such as "office"
or "waffle" when ffi and ffl ligatures do not exist in the current font.
Working with the Glyphs palette
A glyph is the smallest unit of a font — each uppercase letter, for example, consists of
its own glyph. To access all the glyphs in a font — especially an OpenType font that
may include tens of thousands of glyphs — you need to view a complete character
map. You can access such a character map in the Glyphs palette (Window menu),
which enables you to view all the glyphs in the selected font, view bold or italic glyphs,
double-click a glyph to insert that glyph in text, and save favorite glyphs for easy
access.
98 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
The Glyphs palette makes it easy to work with large character sets and professional-quality
fonts.
To view the glyphs in a font, display the Glyphs palette (Window menu) and choose
a font from the Font menu in the upper-left corner. Options available in the Glyphs
palette include the following:
• You can use the Bold and Italic buttons to display the bold and italic versions of
glyphs; if the bold, italic, or bold italic instance of the font is not active on your system,
the application will simulate bold, italic, or bold italic on the glyphs as it does when
you apply the Bold and Italic type styles using the Measurements palette.
• To view a subset of the glyphs in the font, choose an option from the Show drop-down
menu.
• To see any alternates available for a glyph, click the box in the lower-right corner of
an individual glyph's cell.
• If necessary, click the Zoom tool on the palette to increase the size of the glyphs.
• If you need a glyph's Unicode code point — for HTML authoring, for example — you
can see the Unicode code in the lower part of the palette.
• To insert a glyph at the text insertion point, double-click the glyph in the Glyphs
palette.
• If you frequently use specific glyphs from a font, you can save those glyphs as favorites
for quick access. To create a favorites list, first click the expander next to Favorite
Glyphs in the Glyphs palette (Window menu). Then, simply drag a glyph to an empty
cell in the Favorite Glyphs area. To delete a favorite, Control+click/right+click the
glyph and use the context menu.
Displaying invisible characters
The Invisibles option (View menu) is always helpful when editing text or fine-tuning
typography because it allows you to see common "invisible characters" such as spaces,
tabs, and paragraph returns.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 99
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
Inserting special characters
There are all kinds of special characters for typographic and formatting purposes. You
can enter such special characters using keyboard commands or choose them from the
Utilities > Insert Character submenu. Each character displays differently when
invisibles are showing (View > Invisibles).
Inserting spaces
To insert a specific type of space — such as an em space — at the text insertion point,
choose Utilities > Insert Character > Special > Em Space or Utilities > Insert
Character > Special (nonbreaking) > Em Space. The options in the Nonbreaking
Space submenu act as "glue" between two words or numbers, for example, preventing
breaks from occurring between the two "glued" elements at the end of a line.
Inserting other special characters
To insert a special character other than a space — such as an em dash or a current page
number placeholder character — at the text insertion point, choose Utilities > Insert
Character > Special or Utilities > Insert Character > Nonbreaking Special.
Specifying character language
You can specify the language to be used for hyphenation and spell checking by applying
a character language to text. This lets you mix words from different languages in the
same paragraph without triggering poor hyphenation or more Suspect Words in Spell
Check (Utilities menu). In addition to applying a specific language to characters, you
can apply None so that a word is not considered for hyphenation or spell checking.
To apply a language to selected characters, use the Language drop-down menu in the
Character Attributes dialog box (Style > Character).
Using font fallback
When Font Fallback is on, if the application encounters a character that is not available
in the current font, it searches through the active fonts on your system to find a font
that does include that character. For example, if Helvetica is applied at the text insertion
point and you import or paste text containing a Kanji character, the application might
apply the Hiragino font to that character. If the application cannot find an active font
that contains the character, the character still displays as a box or symbol.
Font Fallback is implemented as an application preference, meaning that the feature
is either on or off for your copy of the program. The feature is on by default, but if
you need to turn it off, uncheck Font Fallback in the Font Fallback pane of the
Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit > Preferences).
For more information about the Font Fallback feature, see "Preferences — Application
— Font Fallback."
The Font Fallback feature works only in WYSIWYG view.

TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
Working with font mapping rules
When you open an article, the application checks to make sure all the fonts applied
to text are active on your system. If not, the Missing Fonts alert displays, which gives
you the opportunity to replace missing fonts with active fonts. You can save those
replacements as global "font mapping rules," which can be applied automatically each
time you open a project.
To create a font mapping rule, first open a project that uses a missing (inactive) font.
Click List Fonts to display the Missing Fonts alert. Use the Replace button to choose
replacement fonts for any missing fonts, then click Save As Rule. All the replacements
listed in the Missing Fonts alert are saved as rules, even if only some replacements are
selected. If you change your mind about a replacement, select its line and click Reset.
You can also choose File > Revert to Saved after you open the article. This will display
the Missing Fonts alert again and allow you to make changes. (Note that the changes
apply only to that article — not to any rules you just saved.)
Once you create a font mapping rule by clicking Save As Rule in the Missing Fonts
alert, the rule is saved in preferences for your copy of the application and applied to
all articles. If you need to change, delete, or share font mapping rules, choose Utilities >
Font Mapping.
You can use the Fonts pane (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit > Preferences) to specify a default
replacement font and to control whether the Missing Fonts alert displays when you
open a project with missing fonts. For more information, see "Preferences — Application
— Fonts."
Working with rubi text
Rubi text clarifies the meaning or pronunciation of base text. Base text can run
vertically or horizontally, and rubi text usually follows the direction of the base text.
Rubi text can be placed to the right of or to the left of base text in a vertical story, and
above or below base text in a horizontal story.
There are two types of rubi text: mono rubi and group rubi. Mono rubi is rubi text that
is associated with a single character of the base text. Group rubi is rubi text that is
associated with more than one character of the base text.
You can manipulate the alignment, placement, scale, font, color, opacity, shade, type
style, and relative size of rubi text. In addition, you can choose from several options
that allow you to control rubi text that overhangs unrelated base text.
Use the Rubi dialog box (Style menu) to add rubi text to selected base text.

more information about automatic rubi, see the Rubi Text bullet in the list under
"Text tab," below.
Text tab
The Text tab of the Rubi dialog box lets you control the following options:
• Rubi Text: Use this field to specify the rubi text to be applied to the selected base text.
When you display the Rubi dialog box for a new rubi, the application automatically
fills this field with a phonetic reading of the base text from the input method editor
(IME). This feature works for languages for which IME dictionaries are available (as of
this writing, Chinese and Japanese only).
• Get Rubi: Use this button to refresh the content of the Rubi Text field from the IME.
• Base Text: This field displays the selected base text.
• Rubi Alignment: Use this drop-down menu to control how non-overhanging rubi
text aligns with the base text. For more information, see "Rubi alignment options."
• Rubi Placement: Use this drop-down menu to specify whether rubi text displays above
or below the base text (in a horizontal story) or to the left of or right of the base text
(in a vertical story).
• Relative Size: Use this field to specify the size of the rubi text compared to the base
text.
• Offset: Use this field to control how far the rubi text is offset from the base text.
• Overhang Rubi: Use this field to control how far the rubi text can overhang base text
that is unrelated to the rubi text. For more information, see "Rubi overhang options."

Mono rubi
To control the placement of individual rubi text characters, insert a backslash or
Japanese Yen sign between rubi text characters in the Rubi Text field of the Rubi

Backslashes between rubi text characters indicate mono rubi.
For example, if you select two base text characters that are associated with three rubi
text characters, and you want only the first rubi text character to be placed over the
first base text character and the other two to be placed over the second base character,
insert a backslash between the first and second rubi text characters. Backslashes
correspond with the spaces between base text characters, so you can place as many
rubi text characters between backslashes as you want.

Working with hanging characters
Hanging character sets handle both hanging punctuation and margin alignment. Margin
alignment lets you hang characters partially outside the margin to create visually
uniform text alignment along the margin. Hanging punctuation lets you hang
punctuation characters fully outside the margin so that the text is flush against either
a uniform margin at the beginning of a line of text (leading) or against a uniform
margin at the end of a line of text (trailing). For example, the quotation mark in the
first sample text below is hanging outside the leading margin, which allows the first
character in the first line of text to align evenly with the rows of text below it. The
quotation mark in the second sample text below is hanging outside the trailing margin.
For example, the period in the second sample text below is hanging outside the trailing
margin.
The opening quotation mark in this sample text is a leading hanging character
The closing quotation mark in this sample text is a trailing hanging character
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 109
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
The second line in this sample text shows no hang on the left, but shows a leading hang
on the right.
The punctuation characters in this sample text are trailing hanging characters.
You can create custom hanging character classes and hanging character sets, or you can
use the default classes and sets that come with the software. A hanging character class
is a group of characters that should always hang outside the margin or indent inside
the margin by the same percentage. A hanging character set is a group of hanging
character classes. You can use a hanging character set to apply one or several hanging
character classes to paragraphs.
To view, create, edit, duplicate, and delete hanging character sets and classes, use the

should always hang over the margin or what percentage of the glyph width should
always indent. For example, if you choose –50%, the characters in the character class
indent inside of the margin by half of their glyph width. If you choose 100%, the
characters in the character class hang outside of the margin by their full glyph width.
Next, choose whether the character class is Leading or Trailing. Characters in a
Leading class hang over the beginning margin. Characters in a Trailing class hang
over the end margin.

Working with mojigumi sets and classes
The Mojigumi feature lets you control spacing for specific punctuation characters
when they occur in particular locations. To use this feature, you must choose or create
a mojigumi character class and a mojigumi set.
• A mojigumi character class is a named set of punctuation characters that should always
be spaced in a particular way.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 113
TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
• A mojigumi set is a set of character spacing specifications based on the widths of
character em boxes. For example, a mojigumi set might dictate that open punctuation
should use fixed half-width spacing when it occurs at the beginning of a line, and that
close punctuation should use full-width or half-width spacing when it occurs at the
end of a line. Each mojigumi set is associated with one mojigumi character class.
To use the Mojigumi feature, apply a mojigumi set to a paragraph. The mojigumi set's
settings are applied to the characters in the associated mojigumi character class.
For example, if you do not want a parenthesis to occupy a full em-box width when it
occurs between two full-width characters, you can create a mojigumi character class
that contains parentheses and then specify in the mojigumi set settings that these
characters should always use a half-em width when they fall between two full em-width
characters.
Only one mojigumi set can be applied to each paragraph.
For more information about the difference between characters and glyphs, see "Working
with the Glyphs palette."
Creating and editing mojigumi character classes
A mojigumi character class is a named set of punctuation characters that is designed to
be used with a mojigumi set (for more information, see "Working with mojigumi sets

COLOR, OPACITY, AND DROP SHADOWS
Color, opacity, and drop shadows
QuarkCopyDesk lets you create custom colors, choose colors from several standardized
color matching systems, and edit colors. You can apply both color and shade to text
and pictures. You can also control the opacity of text in the same way you control its
color. You can apply drop shadows to both items and text.
Working with colors
Some colors are automatically included in the Colors palette. To use other colors,
you'll need to create colors or edit existing colors using the Colors dialog box, which
allows you to create colors using color wheels, numeric fields, or color matching
systems.
The Colors palette
You can use the Colors palette (Window > Colors) to create, edit, duplicate, and
mange project colors. The palette also allows you to control overprint and knockout
settings.
The Colors palette lets you create, edit, and delete colors.
The Colors dialog box
You can use the Colors dialog box (Edit > Colors) to create, edit, duplicate, delete,
and append colors.
118 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
COLOR, OPACITY, AND DROP SHADOWS
The Colors dialog box lets you create, edit, and delete color definitions.
Creating a color
You can choose from several color models and from a number of color matching
systems when you create colors. If you have colors you use frequently, you can create
colors for the default color list in the application when no files are open. You can
create up to 1,000 default or article-specific colors. To create a color, choose Edit >
Colors to display the Colors dialog box, and click New to display the Edit Color dialog
box. Then, enter a name in the Name field and specify the color model for your new
color. You can also click the New button on the Colors palette to create colors.
• RGB: This additive color system is most often used with slide recorders or color video
monitors, and also works well for Web pages. Red, green, and blue light is mixed to
represent colors on a video screen.
• HSB: This color model is often used by artists because it resembles the manner in
which they mix colors. Hue describes color pigment; saturation measures the amount
of color pigment; and brightness measures the amount of black in a color.
• LAB: This color space is designed to be independent of differing interpretations imposed
by monitor or printer manufacturers. The LAB color model, also referred to as LAB
color space, is a standard three-dimensional model for representing colors. Colors are
specified by a luminance coordinate (L) and two chrominance coordinates (A for
green-red), and (B for blue-yellow).
• Multi-Ink: This color model is color based on tint percentages of existing process or
spot inks.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 119
COLOR, OPACITY, AND DROP SHADOWS
• CMYK: CMYK is a subtractive color model used by professional printers to reproduce
colors by combining cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks on a press.
• Web Safe or Web Named Colors: Web-safe colors are used for color consistency across
Web applications.
• To select a color from a color matching system and add it to your color list, choose
one of the standardized color matching systems from the Model drop-down menu.
Editing a color
To edit an existing color, choose Edit > Colors, select the color you want to edit in
the Colors list, then click Edit to display the Edit Color dialog box. You can also
double-click the color you want to edit in the Colors list to display the Edit Color
dialog box.
Edit Color dialog box
Duplicating a color
To duplicate an existing color, choose Edit > Colors, select the color you want to
duplicate from the Colors list, then click Duplicate to display the Edit Color dialog
box for the duplicate color.
Deleting a color
While you cannot delete some of the default colors, you can delete any new or duplicate
colors you have created. To remove a color from the color list, choose Edit > Colors,
select the color you want to remove from the Colors list, and then click Delete.
Importing colors from another article or project
You can append colors from another article or project using the Colors dialog box
(Edit > Colors) or the Append command (File > Append).

COLOR, OPACITY, AND DROP SHADOWS
Changing all instances of one color to another color
To globally change all items of one color to another color, either edit the color you
want to change to the desired color or choose Edit > Colors to display the Colors
dialog box, and select the name of a color to edit; then click Edit, and make your
changes.
When you are globally changing all items and text from one color to another, remember
to save your work before you do so. That way, if you accidentally change everything
to the wrong color, you can simply choose File > Revert to Saved to undo the error
without losing any of your other work.
Applying color and shade to text
You can apply color and shade to text in four ways:
• You can apply color and shade using the Style > Color and Style > Shade commands.
• You can use the Colors palette (View > Show Colors).
• You can use the Character Style Sheet command (Style > Character Style Sheet) to
apply color and shade to selected text using character style sheets you have created.
• You can use the Character Attributes dialog box (Style > Character).
Working with opacity
Specifying opacity is as easy as specifying the shade of a color. In fact, wherever you
can pick a color — in the Colors palette, the Style menu, the Character Attributes
dialog box (Style > Character), and more — you can enter an opacity value from 0%
(transparent) to 100% (opaque) in 0.1% increments.

PICTURES
Pictures
You can import and paste pictures from image-editing or other graphic applications
into QuarkCopyDesk. Once a picture is in a picture component, you can perform a
number of operations on it, such as altering its position, changing its size, or skewing
or flipping it.
Working with pictures
If an article contains pictures, you can view and manipulate pictures in QuarkCopyDesk.
You can also create picture components.
Importing a picture
To import a picture, do one of the following:
• Choose File > Import.
• Drag a picture file from the file system onto a picture component. If the component
contains a picture, press Command/Ctrl to replace it.
• Drag a picture from another application onto a picture component. If the component
contains a picture, press Command/Ctrl to replace it.
• Drag a picture file from the file system onto a text component and press Command/Ctrl
to make the component accept the picture.
• Drag a picture from another application onto a text component and press
Command/Ctrl to make the component accept the picture.
Moving pictures
Resizing pictures
You can scale pictures to make them larger or smaller by clicking and dragging the
round picture handles on the corners and sides of the picture. Press the Shift key while
resizing a picture to resize the picture proportionately. Press Shift+Option/Shift+Alt
while dragging a corner handle to resize the picture proportionately from the center.
You can also scale pictures using the Style menu, the Measurements palette, or the
context menu.
To scale a picture proportionally so that its largest dimension fits inside the picture
component, choose Scale Picture to Box from the context menu or Style menu. To
122 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
PICTURES
scale a picture proportionally so that it completely fills the picture component, choose
Scale Picture to Fill Box from the context menu or Style menu.
Cropping pictures
If you only want a portion of your image to display, you can manually crop it by
adjusting the size of the picture with the picture handles.
Rotating and skewing pictures
Rotating a picture sets it at a different angle within the box, while skewing a picture
applies a slanted look to it.
To rotate a picture, move the mouse over one of the picture's corner handles. A Rotation
pointer
displays according to the selected corner. Drag the pointer to rotate the
picture. You can also enter rotate values for a picture in the Picture Angle field of the
Modify dialog box (Style > Picture) on Windows, or the Measurements palette
(Home/Classic tab).
To skew a picture, enter a value in the Picture Skew field of the Modify dialog box
(Style > Picture) on Windows, or the Measurements palette (Home/Classic tab).
Coloring and shading pictures
You can apply color and shade values to the shadows and middle tones of
black-and-white and grayscale pictures using the Colors palette (Window > Colors),
the Modify dialog box (Windows only) , the Measurements palette, or the Style menu.
You can also apply color to the picture background and the box background.
• To apply color to a black-and-white or grayscale picture, select the Picture Color icon
and click a color name.
• To apply color to the background of a black-and-white or grayscale picture, select the
Picture Background Color icon
and click a color name.
Flipping pictures
You can flip the contents of a picture component from left to right and from top to
bottom using the Style menu (Style > Flip Horizontal or Style > Flip Vertical) or the
Measurements palette (click the flip horizontal icon
or the flip vertical icon
).
Listing, verifying status of, and updating pictures
QuarkCopyDesk automatically displays a low-resolution 72 dpi preview of each
imported picture file while maintaining a path to picture files and retrieving the
high-resolution information required for output.
The Usage feature (Utilities menu) lets you keep track of all your imported pictures.
To use this feature, choose Utilities > Usage, then click Pictures to display the Pictures
pane.
The Show button displays the selected picture in the layout.
The Update button lets you update missing and modified pictures. To update modified
pictures without a confirmation alert, Option+click/Alt+click the Update button.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 123
PICTURES
To suppress the output of a picture, uncheck the Print column for that picture.
Specifying background colors for pictures
To increase your design options with pictures, you can modify box color, picture color,
and picture background color. See "Coloring and shading pictures" for more information.
• For gray pixels, the picture color and picture background color are mixed.
• If you specify different opacities for the picture color or picture background color, the
colors will interact with each other and the box color.
Maintaining picture attributes
When you import a picture into a picture component — whether or not the picture
component already contains a picture — you can retain all picture attributes. For
example, if an empty picture component specifies that the picture should be scaled
50% and rotated 90 degrees, you can import a new picture and those attributes are
automatically applied.
To import a picture and retain the attributes specified for the component and/or the
existing picture, check Maintain Picture Attributes in the Import dialog box (File
menu).
Working with clipping paths
A clipping path is a closed Bézier shape that indicates which parts of a picture should
be displayed and which parts should be treated as transparent. Clipping paths are
especially useful when you are attempting to isolate the picture's subject from its
surrounding background in the original picture file.
You can create clipping paths from scratch in QuarkXPress or QuarkCopyDesk, or you
can use embedded path or alpha channel information to create clipping paths. Clipping
paths created by QuarkXPress or QuarkCopyDesk are based on the picture file, and
are stored with the layout.
A clipping path lets you control which parts of a picture show and which parts are hidden.
Clipping path basics
A clipping path is any closed Bézier shape that defines a region (or regions) that should
be treated as visible, and a region (or regions) that should be treated as invisible.
124 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
PICTURES
Clipping paths tell QuarkXPress and QuarkCopyDesk which parts of a picture should
be considered visible, and runaround paths tell QuarkXPress and QuarkCopyDesk
where to wrap text. You are not limited to using the same settings for your runaround
and clipping paths. You can even use different clipping paths or alpha channels for
your clipping and runaround settings.
Clipping paths created by QuarkCopyDesk are based on the high-resolution picture
file, and are stored with the article.
Creating clipping paths
To create or assign a clipping path for the active picture component, choose Style >
Picture on Windows, click the Clipping tab, and then choose an option from the Type
drop-down menu, or use the Clipping tab of the Measurements palette on Mac OS
X:
• Choose Item to crop an image to the picture component boundaries. Choosing Item
does not create a clipping path; it simply crops the picture to its picture component.
• Choose Embedded Path to clip a picture around a path already embedded in the
picture file. Choose a path from the Path drop-down menu if the picture file contains
more than one embedded path.
• Choose Alpha Channel to clip a picture around an alpha channel already embedded
in a picture file. Choose an alpha channel from the Alpha drop-down menu if the
picture file contains more than one embedded alpha channel. Note that using a clipping
path around an alpha channel will create a hard edge rather than a blended effect. If
you want a semi-opaque blend, use an alpha mask. (See "Working with alpha masks.")
• Choose Non-White Areas to create a clipping path based on the picture's subject.
Depending on the image and the value in the Threshold field, the clipping path will
outline a non-white figure within a larger white or near-white image (or vice versa).
The Non-White Areas option works best when the unwanted parts of the image are
much lighter than the subject itself (or vice versa).
• Choose Picture Bounds to clip a picture around the rectangular "canvas area" of the
imported picture file. This includes any white background areas saved with the original
picture file. Enter values in the Top, Left, Bottom, and Right fields to determine the
outset of the clipping path from the picture's boundaries. Positive values increase the
outset, and negative values decrease the outset.
Using embedded clipping paths
You can use image-editing applications to embed paths and alpha channels in an
image. If a picture storing this information is imported into QuarkCopyDesk, you can
access the path and channel information using the Clipping tab in the Modify dialog
box , or the Measurements palette.
TIFFs and PSDs can have embedded paths and alpha channels. EPS, BMP, JPEG, and
PICT files can only have embedded paths.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 125
PICTURES
Working with alpha masks
Unlike clipping paths, which produce a smooth edge primarily used for separating a
foreground image from a background image, alpha masks can include transparency
information to subtly blend a foreground image into a new background. To work with
alpha masks in QuarkCopyDesk, you must first create an alpha mask in an image-editing
application such as Adobe Photoshop. You can then use the alpha mask in
QuarkCopyDesk.
The alpha mask on the flames allows the text in the background to show through.
To work with alpha masks in QuarkCopyDesk, you'll need to save them with the
picture in a format that supports alpha channels.
To apply an alpha mask to the selected picture, choose an alpha channel from the
Measurements palette's Mask drop-down menu.
By default, this drop-down menu is set to Composite, which preserves the image's
overall transparency.
Working with PSD pictures
You can import native, unflattened picture files from Adobe Photoshop directly into
QuarkCopyDesk with PSD Import XTensions software. Once files are imported, you
can manipulate any layers, channels, and paths saved with the Photoshop (PSD) files.
This integration between Photoshop and QuarkCopyDesk streamlines your workflow
by allowing you to skip flattening; saves hard disk space by enabling you to work with
native files; and enhances your creative possibilities by providing access to layers,
channels, and paths.
126 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
PICTURES
When the PSD Import XTensions software is running, you can use File > Import to
import a PSD file into a selected QuarkCopyDesk picture box.
To work with layers, channels, and paths in the image, choose Window > Advanced
Image Control. You can use the Advanced Image Control palette to blend layers,
work with color channels, and select paths.
To work with PSD files in QuarkCopyDesk, you must have the PSD Import XTension
loaded.
Preparing PSD files
When you're preparing pictures in Photoshop for use with Advanced Image Control,
you need to keep a few things in mind:
• You do not need to save the image in another file format, which means that you don't
have to flatten the layers.
• Create alpha channels or clipping paths for any contours that you might want to wrap
text around.
• Create channels for areas where you might want to apply a different spot color or
varnish.
• Advanced Image Control cannot read layer information for certain images — including
those that use layer effects. The composite image is used instead.
Advanced Image Control supports PSD files in grayscale, RGB, CMYK, index, Duotone
and multichannel modes.
Working with PSD layers
Experimenting with layers allows you to see different images within the context of
the entire layout. In addition, you can modify the opacity of a layer and try different
blend modes — such as dissolve, lighten, and difference — to see how these effects
work with the rest of a design.
You can use the Layers pane of the Advanced Image Control palette to show, hide,
blend, and change the opacity of layers within PSD pictures. The Advanced Image
Control palette displays information about how the picture file was created, but does
not allow you to make fundamental changes to the picture file:
• You cannot create, name, copy, duplicate, align, reposition, delete, or merge layers
using the Layers pane.
• If there are no layers in the PSD file, the Advanced Image Control palette shows only
the background layer.
Blending PSD layers
The Blend Mode drop-down menu in the Layers pane lets you control how pixels in
a selected layer interact with pixels in all the layers below the selected layer. The blend
modes are similar to those in image-editing applications: They include options such
as Multiply, Color Dodge, Exclusion, and Saturation.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 127
PICTURES
Showing and hiding Photoshop layers
You can view and print layers that are showing; hidden layers do not display on-screen
or in print. Advanced Image Control allows you to hide any layer, including the
background layer.
• To show a layer, click the empty box icon to the left of the layer.
• To show all layers, Option+Shift+click/Alt+Shift+click the empty box icon.
• To hide a layer, click the eye icon
.
• To hide all but one layer, Option+click/Alt+click the eye icon
.
If changing the blending and opacity of layers produces undesirable results, you can
revert the layers to their original state in the imported PSD file with the Revert Layer
or Revert All Layers options in the Advanced Image Control palette menu.
Modifying PSD layer opacity
A field on the Layers pane let you control the transparency of pixels on a selected
layer. You can specify a transparency from 0% (transparent) to 100% (opaque).
Working with layer masks
If layer masks are saved with PSD files, you can enable and disable the masks in the
Layers pane of the Advanced Image Control palette by Shift-clicking the thumbnail
preview of the layer mask.
Working with PSD channels
Photoshop channels store color information about images. By default, grayscale and
indexed color images have one channel, RGB images have three channels, and CMYK
images have four channels. These are referred to collectively as the default channels.
You can use the Channels pane of the Advanced Image Control palette to show and
hide all channels, to change the color and ink solidity of a selected spot-color channel
or alpha channel, and to assign spot colors to selected indexed colors. For example,
you might assign special effects such as varnishes, embossing, and die cuts to channels.
Showing and hiding channels
Visible channels in imported PSD files display on screen and can be printed; channels
that are hidden do not display on screen and cannot be printed. The process to show
and hide channels is the same as for layers.
Clicking the composite channel displays all the default channels, such as CMYK or
RGB.
Modifying channel color and solidity
You can use the Advanced Image Control palette to change the color, shade, and ink
solidity of any spot color, mask, or alpha channel you created in Photoshop. You can
assign spot colors to channels that overprint composite images, and you can specify
solidity for displaying channels on-screen and printing color composites.
Channels specified as mask channels in Photoshop are imported differently than
channels specified as spot colors. In Photoshop, mask channels are assigned an opacity
128 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
PICTURES
setting, while spot channels are assigned a solidity setting. Since PSD Import supports
ink solidity, mask channels are imported with a 0% ink solidity. To see mask channels
in imported PSDs, you need to manually turn on the mask channels in the Channels
tab of the Advanced Image Control palette. Spot-color channels, on the other hand,
retain the solidity setting saved in the PSD file and are mapped to QuarkCopyDesk
colors by default.
Use the Channel Options dialog box to modify the color, shade, or ink solidity of
pixels in a spot-color or alpha channel. To display the Channel Options dialog box,
simply double-click a channel in the Channels pane of the Advanced Image Control
palette (Window menu).
Working with indexed color channels
By default, when you print color separations from QuarkXPress using PSD Import, the
colors in indexed color images separate to CMYK. You can override this by creating a
spot color or multi-ink color (Edit > Colors) and assigning that color to the selected
indexed colors in the image. Advanced Image Control also allows you to create spot
colors from colors in the indexed color image. Indexed colors that you do not modify
will still separate to CMYK.
Working with PSD paths
You can also use PSD Import to choose among embedded paths for specifying clipping
and runaround. The Paths pane in the Advanced Image Control palette provides
convenient access to the clipping-path and text-runaround functions in QuarkCopyDesk
Using the Paths pane, you can select different clipping paths to use for text runaround
contours. To select a text runaround contour, click the empty box in the first column.
The Text Runaround icon displays and the text wraps around the contours of the
clipping path.
You also can use the Paths pane to control the display of an image by selecting a
clipping path you created in Photoshop. To select a clipping path, click in the empty
box in the second column. The Clipping Path icon displays and the area of the picture
within the selected clipping path displays.
You can reverse any changes you make to paths in PSD Import. The paths will revert
to their original state as they were created in the imported PSD file. To do this, choose
Revert Path or Revert All Paths from the Advanced Image Control palette or context
menu.
Printing with PSD Import
When you print an article using PSD Import, you can specify the layers, channels, and
paths within each PSD picture to print. Since the eye icon
in the Advanced Image
Control palette controls both display and printing, pictures print as they display.
If you print an article without PSD Import XTensions software running, the PSD files
print as low-resolution composite previews. The layers, channels, and path information
are not available, and the pictures will not separate.

DOCUMENT CONSTRUCTION
Document construction
The Lists feature lets you create tables of contents and other lists.
Working with lists
The Lists feature lets you collect the text of paragraphs that have specific character or
paragraph style sheets applied to them. Although the Lists feature is most often used
for creating a table of contents, you can also use it to create a list of figures or pictures
used in a publication.
Preparing for lists
Before you create a list, you must create and apply style sheets in your document.
Begin by creating style sheets to be used in a table of contents, such as "Chapter Name,"
"Section Name," and "Body Text." Then create another paragraph style sheet for the
formatted table of contents.
Including style sheets in a list
The first step in creating a list is to decide what style sheets you want to include in
the list. To create a table of contents, you might include chapter and section style
sheets in your list, since a table of contents generally lists chapter titles and their
respective page numbers. You can include paragraph and character style sheets in lists.
Specifying levels in a list
You will also need to decide how the different levels in the paragraph style sheets will
be defined before generating a list. You might want chapter headings to be at the first
level and subjects within a chapter to be at the second level. For example, if you are
writing a manual about an application, and a chapter in the manual is titled "File
Menu," you might want the chapter heading "File Menu" to be the first level on your
list. The "New," "Open," "Close," and "Save" items (subheadings in the "File Menu"
chapter) could be at the second level. Making decisions such as these beforehand will
simplify the process of generating a list.
Creating a list
Once you have created and applied the style sheets in your document and have decided
which ones will be included in your list, you are ready to start creating your list. Choose
Edit > Lists and click New to display the Edit List dialog box and enter a name in the
Name field.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 133
DOCUMENT CONSTRUCTION
The Available Styles list displays all of the style sheets in the active article. Select each
style sheet you want to use in the list and click Add to add it to the Styles in List list.
For example, if you want to include all headings that use the "Heading 1" and "Heading
2" style sheets in a TOC, add these two style sheets to the Styles in List list.
Once you've indicated which style sheets should determine what goes into the TOC,
you can specify how the TOC should be formatted. For each style in the Styles in List
list, choose a Level, a Numbering option, and a Format As style sheet:
• Level determines how the contents of the list are indented on the Lists palette (higher
levels are indented further).
• Numbering lets you control if and where the list includes the page number for each
occurrence of a style sheet.
• Format As lets you specify the style sheet to be applied to each level of the
automatically generated TOC.
You can use the Edit List dialog box to create lists for things like automatic tables of
contents.
Importing lists from another document
QuarkCopyDesk lets you append lists from another document or from the Lists dialog
box (Edit > Lists), or by using the Append command (File > Append).
Navigating with lists
To view a list, display the Lists palette (Window menu), select the list in the List
Name drop-down menu, and then click Update. The selected list displays in the Lists
palette.
134 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
DOCUMENT CONSTRUCTION
You can use the Lists palette to navigate in a layout.
If your article contains multiple layouts, you can choose a different layout from the
Show List For drop-down list.
To locate a particular line in the active list, enter a word from that line in the palette's
Find field. The list in the palette scrolls to the first appearance of that word in the list.
To jump to a particular paragraph, double-click it in the Lists palette. The window
scrolls to that paragraph's location in the layout.
Building lists
To create a TOC (or other type of list) in the layout, place the text insertion point
where you want the list to go, then click Build in the Lists palette. The list is built
automatically. The style sheets you selected for the list in the Format As drop-down
menu (New List dialog box) are applied automatically.
If the text in the document is on the pasteboard, then a dagger character (Mac OS X)
or the characters "PB " (Windows) displays next to the text in the built list instead of a
page number.
Updating lists
The Lists palette is not automatically updated as you work. When you make changes
to text, you must update the list to be sure it is current. Clicking the Update button
in the Lists palette scans the document for list items, and rebuilds a list in the Lists
palette.
To update a list that you have already flowed into the active text component, click
Update to make sure the list is up-to-date, and then click Build. The application detects
that there is already a copy of the list in the text component and displays an alert
asking if you want to Insert a new copy of the list or Replace the existing version. To
update the existing list, click Replace.

will help you get satisfying results every time. QuarkXPress 9 and later versions, no
longer support host-based separations, but you can continue to output using In-RIP
separations or Composite output.
Printing an article
To print the active article, first choose File > Print (Command+P/Ctrl+P). The Print
dialog box displays. Use the controls in this dialog box to specify the way you want
your output to look, and then click Print.
Updating picture paths
QuarkCopyDesk uses two types of information for imported pictures: low-resolution
and high-resolution. Low-resolution information is used to display picture previews.
When you print, high-resolution information contained in the original picture files
is accessed using paths to the pictures.
A path to a picture is established when you import a picture. The application keeps
information about each picture's path as well as when the picture was last modified.
If a picture is moved or changed after it is imported, the application warns you when
you execute the Output command (Print, PDF, EPS or Digital Outputs) or the Collect
for Output command (File menu).
The application can always "find" pictures that are in the same folder as the document,
whether or not the picture was in that folder at the time it was imported.
Setting Print dialog box controls
To print an article:
1 Choose File > Print (Command+P/Ctrl+P). The Print dialog box displays.
2 To select a printer driver, choose an option from the Printer drop-down menu.
• Windows only: Clicking the Properties button opens a dialog box with controls specific
to the selected printer driver. For more information about the options in this dialog
box or how to install printers, consult the documentation provided with Microsoft
Windows software.

OUTPUT
3 Specify output options in one of the following ways:
• To use an existing print output style, choose an option from the Print Style drop-down
menu.
• To manually configure print options, use the controls in the bottom half of the dialog
box. This part of the Print dialog box is divided into panes. To display a pane, click
its name in the list on the bottom left. For information, see "Print dialog box."
• To capture the selected print options as a new output style, choose New Print Output
Style from the Print Style drop-down menu.
4 To specify the number of copies you want to print, enter a value in the Copies field.
5 To specify which pages you want to print, enter a value in the Pages field. You can
enter ranges of pages, non-sequential pages, or a combination of ranges and
non-sequential pages for printing. Use commas and hyphens to define a sequential
or non-sequential range of pages. For example, if you have a 20-page layout and you
want to print pages 3 through 9, pages 12 through 15, and page 19, then enter 3–9,
12–15, 19 in the Pages field.
6 To specify whether only odd, only even, or all pages should be printed, choose an
option from the Page Sequence drop-down menu. All (the default setting) prints all
of the related pages. When you choose Odd, only odd-numbered pages print. When
you choose Even, only even-numbered pages print.
7 To make your document print smaller or larger, enter a percentage in the Scale field.
The default is 100%.
8 If you are printing two or more copies of the layout, and you want each copy to emerge
from the printer in sequential order, check Collate. If Collate is unchecked, the
application prints multiple copies of each page at a time.
9 To print spreads (horizontally adjoining pages) side by side on the film or paper, check
Spreads.
10 To print a multipage layout in reverse order, check Back to Front. The last page in
the layout will print first.
11 Check Fit in Print Area to reduce or enlarge the size of a page in your document to
fit the imageable area of the selected media.

A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 137
OUTPUT
Print dialog box
The panes in the Print dialog box are described in the topics below.
Device pane
Use the Device pane to control device-specific settings, including PPD selection and
page positioning:
• When you specify a PPD, the Paper Size, Width, and Height fields are automatically
filled with default information supplied by the PPD. If you choose a PPD for an
imagesetter, the Page Gap and Paper Offset fields also will be available. On Windows
you can customize the list of PPDs available in the PPD drop-down menu using the
PPD Manager dialog box (Utilities menu). On Mac OS X you will have to install the
PPDs in the MAC HD > Library > Printers > PPDs folder, and relaunch
QuarkXPress. All of the PPDs will now be listed in the PPDs list in the Print dialog. If
you do not have the right PPD, choose a similar built-in, generic PPD.
• To specify the media size used by your printer, choose a size from the Paper Size
drop-down menu.
• To specify the width and height of custom media supported by your printer, choose
Custom from the Paper Size drop-down menu and enter values in the Width and
Height fields. When sending output to a continuous-feed or nondrum imagesetter,
use the Automatic setting in the Height field.
• To position your document on the selected output media, choose an option from the
Position drop-down menu.
• For imagesetters only: Enter a value in the Paper Offset field to specify the distance that
the left edge of the page will be offset (or inset) from the left edge of the roll media.
• For imagesetters only: Enter a value in the Page Gap field to specify the amount of space
between pages of the layout as the pages print on the roll.
• To print negative page images, check Negative Print.
• To receive printed PostScript error reporting during output, check PostScript Error
Handler.
Pages pane
Use the Pages pane to specify page orientation, tiling, page flipping, and related
options:
• To specify whether to print in portrait or landscape mode, click an Orientation radio
button (Portrait or Landscape).
• To include blank pages in the output, check Include Blank Pages.
• To flip the output vertically or horizontally, choose an option from the Page Flip
drop-down menu.
To print a large layout in sections (tiles), choose an option from the Page Tiling
drop-down menu. The application prints tickmarks and location information on each
tile to aid you in reassembling them.
138 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
OUTPUT
• To control the way in which a page is tiled by positioning the ruler origin, choose
Manual.
• To have the application determine the number of tiles needed to print each document
page based on the layout size, the media size, whether or not Absolute Overlap is
checked, and the value in the Overlap field, choose Automatic. The value entered in
the Overlap field is the amount the application will use to extend the page as needed
to create the tile. When Absolute Overlap is checked, the application will use only
the value in the Overlap field when extending the page to create the tile. If Absolute
Overlap is unchecked, the application will use at least the amount in the Overlap
field when creating the tile, but may use a larger amount if necessary. Do not check
Absolute Overlap if you want your layout centered on the final assembled tiles.
Color pane
The Color pane lets you choose whether to create a color PDF or a grayscale PDF.
Pictures pane
Use the Pictures pane to control the way pictures are printed:
• To specify how pictures are printed, choose an option from the Output drop-down
menu. Normal provides high-resolution output of pictures using the data from the
pictures' source files. Low Resolution prints pictures at screen preview resolution.
Rough suppresses printout of pictures and blends and prints a box with the frame and
an "x" in it, much like an empty picture box on screen.
• To select a format for print data, choose an option from the Data drop-down menu.
Although documents print more quickly in Binary format, the ASCII option is more
portable because it is a standard format readable by a wider range of printers and print
spoolers. The Clean 8-bit option combines ASCII and binary in a versatile and portable
file format.
Registration Marks pane
Use the Registration Marks pane to include crop marks, registration marks, and bleed
marks in the output. Crop marks are short vertical and horizontal lines printed outside
the page's final trim size, indicating where to cut the page. Registration marks are symbols
that are used to align overlaying plates. Bleed marks indicate where page bleeds end.
• To include crop marks and registration marks on every page, choose Centered or Off
Center from the Mode drop-down menu.
Article pane
The Article pane lets you choose whether to output an article in WYSIWYG mode,
Galley mode, or Full Screen mode. You can choose to output all components, only
the active components, or only those components that are expanded in the article
window. You can also choose whether or not to include pictures and page pictures (if
you are using WYSIWYG view).
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 139
OUTPUT
Notes pane
Use the Notes pane to output notes along with an article. You can output all notes or
only open notes. You can also output footnotes, either inline or on a separate page.
Redline pane
Use the Redline pane to control whether or not your tracked changes are highlighted:
• To have your changes highlighted in the printed article, check Highlight Changes.
Summary pane
The Summary pane displays a summary of the settings in the other panes.
Exporting an article in PDF format
To export the active article in PDF format:
1 Choose File > PDF. The Export as PDF dialog box displays.
2 Enter a page range in the Pages field.
3 To use an existing output style, choose an option from the PDF Style drop-down
menu.
4 To modify output settings, click Options. Use the panes in the resulting dialog box
to control the format of the exported file.
• To use a PDF output style, choose an option from the PDF Style drop-down menu.
To create a PDF output style using the current settings, choose New PDF Output Style.
• Use the Pages pane to specify whether to export spreads, whether to export each page
as a separate PDF file, whether to include blank pages, and whether to embed a
thumbnail of the PDF file.
• Use the Meta Data pane to provide the details that display in the Description tab of
the Document Properties dialog box in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
• Use the Hyperlink pane to specify how links and lists from the layout export and how
hyperlinks should appear in the PDF. You can also use this pane to specify the default
zoom of the PDF file.
• Use the Compression pane to choose from three compression options. Optimum
creates a PDF file that is suitable for printing to a personal printer. Files created with
this setting may be relatively large, and may take a while to generate.High creates a
PDF file that is reasonably small in size and reasonably high in quality. Images are
compressed, but should be suitable for on-screen viewing. Files created with this setting
should be small enough to send by e-mail.Low creates a PDF file that is quite small
in size. Images in PDFs created with this setting should have acceptable quality, but
text in raster images may not be readable. This setting lets you generate PDFs more
quickly than the other settings.
• Use the Color pane to specify whether to create composite output or separations, to
choose an output setup for the PDF file, and to select which plates should be included
in the output.
140 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015

6 Click Save.
Working with output styles
Output styles enable you to store a particular configuration of settings under a name,
and then recall those settings by simply choosing the name from the Output Styles
drop-down menu in the Print dialog box.
There are three ways to create an output style:
• Choose Edit > Output Styles, click New, choose Print or PDF, and then configure
the controls in the Edit Print Style or Edit PDF Style dialog box.
Use the Output Styles dialog box to create, import, export, edit, and remove output
styles.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 141
OUTPUT
• For print output styles only: Choose File > Print, configure the controls in the Print
dialog box, and then choose New Print Output Style from the Print Style drop-down
menu.
• For PDF output styles only: Choose File > PDF, configure the controls in the Export
as PDF dialog box, click Options and then choose New PDF Output Style from the
PDF Style drop-down menu.
To use an output style when printing, select it from the Print Styles drop-down menu
in the Print dialog box before you click Print. To use an output style when saving a
PDF, select it from the PDF Styles drop-down menu in the Export as PDF dialog box
before you click Save.
The Default output style is applied to every new article unless you select another

style. You can customize the initial Default output style settings to suit your printing
needs using the Edit Print Style dialog box (Edit menu).
142 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
VIEWS
Views
QuarkCopyDesk provides three different views for editing articles: WYSIWYG, Full
Screen, and Galley. WYSIWYG view reveals the page geometry, as well as other page
elements that may surround the QuarkCopyDesk article in the QuarkXPress layout
that contains it. Full Screen and Galley views are designed for efficient editing. Using
the Application Preferences dialog box (Edit menu), you can specify the font, font
size, and leading in Full Screen and Galley views, as well as the display of color and
type styles.
Switching between views
There are three ways to switch among views:
• Choose an option from the View menu. To switch to WYSIWYG view, choose an
option from the View > WYSIWYG submenu. To switch to Galley view, choose View >
Galley. To switch to Full Screen view, choose View > Full Screen.
• Choose an option from the View menu at the bottom of the article window.
• Click one of the three buttons on the Measurements palette: WYSIWYG
, or Full Screen
, Galley
.
Working in WYSIWYG view
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) displays QuarkCopyDesk article
components as they were defined in the QuarkXPress layout to which they are attached
or according to the article setup determined in the New Article dialog box.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 143
VIEWS
WYSIWYG view provides a realistic view of what a layout will look like at output.
While working in WYSIWYG view, you can press Shift+Control/Ctrl+Space and click
the article window to increase the viewing percentage in 25% increments or press
Control+Option/Ctrl+Alt+Space and click the article window to reduce the viewing
percentage in 25% increments. You can also press Command/Ctrl and draw an area
with the Zoom tool to zoom in on specific text.
When you work in WYSIWYG view, you can edit both text and pictures. To edit a
picture, select it and use the controls in the Measurements palette. You can also access
the contents of anchored boxes in WYSIWYG view.
Working in Galley view
In Galley view, text is displayed in the font and font size you specify in the Galley
View pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu). Each line
wraps according to the line breaks in WYSIWYG view if possible, and each line is
numbered. If you check Show Styles in the Galley View pane of the Preferences
dialog box, bold, italic, all caps, and small caps type styles are displayed. If you check
Show Color, colors applied to text are displayed.
If a line is so long in WYSIWYG view that it would extend past the edge of the window
in Galley view, the line breaks in Galley view. You can tell when this happens because
the portion of the line after the break is not numbered.
If an article contains multiple components, each component is displayed in the article
window as a horizontal bar. To display or hide a component, click the triangle next
to the component name in the component's horizontal bar. To change the reading
order of components in Galley view, click the component title bar and drag it to a
new location.

VIEWS
Galley view lets you view text with its actual font, size, and line breaks.
Galley view offers the following indicators:
• Page breaks are indicated by a dashed line.
• Column breaks are indicated by a dotted line.
• Overset is indicated by a colored dotted line.
• Anchored tables are indicated by the following icon:
.
Working in Full Screen view
In Full Screen view, text runs from edge to edge in the article window using the font
and font size you specify in the Full Screen View pane of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu). If you check Show styles in the Full Screen View pane
of the Preferences dialog box, bold and italic type styles are displayed in Full Screen
view.
If an article contains multiple components, each component is displayed in the article
window as a horizontal bar. To display or hide a component, click the triangle next
to the component name in the component's horizontal bar. To change the order of
components in Full Screen view, click the component title bar and drag it to a new
location. Regardless of how you rearrange the reading order, components always
display the same way in WYSIWYG view.

VIEWS
Full Screen view lets you concentrate on text without worrying about what it will look like
at output.
146 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
REDLINE
Redline
In a document review environment, reviewers such as managing editors and copy
editors make changes to components. The Redline feature provides a way to track
these changes so writers, editors, project managers, and other users can see what is
happening to a component and confirm that changes are appropriate. Using the
Redline feature, you can view the insertions and deletions made in a component and
decide whether to accept or reject the changes.
When used with Quark Publishing Platform®, the Redline feature uses settings defined
in Quark Publishing Platform. For more information, see A Guide to Quark Publishing
Platform.
Tracking changes
To turn on tracking, do one of the following things:
• Make sure Utilities > Redline > Tracking is checked.
• Display the Redline toolbar (Utilities > Redline > Show ToolBar) and then click the
Tracking button
.
You can use the Redline toolbar to turn change tracking on and off.
When tracking is turned on, QuarkCopyDesk tracks all changes made to the text of
the active component. Deleted text is not displayed in WYSIWYG view, but the
deletions are still tracked. Deletions are visible in Galley and Full Screen Views.
You can use the Redline feature to track changes you make
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 147

NOTES
Notes
The Notes feature lets you store comments in an article without affecting the actual
content of the article. You can use notes to add reminders, comments on the content,
or URLs to an article. In WYSIWGY view, an open note looks like adhesive or "sticky"
notes you might stick to hard copy. In Full Screen and Galley views, open notes can
be displayed within the flow of text or as they display in WYSIWYG view.
When used with Quark Publishing Platform, the Notes feature uses settings defined
in Quark Publishing Platform. For more information, see A Guide to Quark Publishing
Platform.
Creating notes
To work with notes, first choose View > Show Notes to make sure notes are visible.
(If this menu item displays as Hide Notes, notes are already visible.) When this option
is unchecked, note icons are no longer visible in text and menu items for working
with notes are disabled.
To create a note, place the text insertion point where you want to enter the note and
choose Item > Note > Insert. A note window displays and in WYSIWYG view, a Note
icon also displays to the right of the text insertion point. Enter the note text in the
note window.
On Mac OS X, a link is also shown between the note icon and the note window and
the newly created note is not shown on the Article area, instead it is shown in the
pasteboard area and doesn't hide the Article text.
You can use notes to store comments in articles.
The Note icon is actually a special kind of text character. It does not affect the flow of
text, but in other ways it works like a regular text character. For example, if you select
150 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
NOTES
a range of text that contains a Note icon, then start entering characters, the text
(including the Note icon) is replaced by the characters you enter, and the note is lost.

WORKING WITH MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
Working with multiple languages
QuarkCopyDesk is available in several language configurations. If your language
configuration supports it, you can:
• Open and edit articles that use any supported character language. Character language
is an attribute that you can apply to text to indicate which hyphenation and spell
checking rules should be used with that text. You can apply character language at the
character level — so even if a sentence uses words in two different languages, every
word can be hyphenated and spell checked correctly. For more information, see
"Applying a character language."
• (Windows only) Change the user interface and keyboard commands to any supported
program language. Program language refers to the language used in application menus
and dialog boxes. Program language affects only the user interface; it does not affect
spell checking and hyphenation. For more information, see "Changing the program
language."
• (Mac OS X only) The program language is determined by your OS language at the time
of install. You can change the UI language by changing the display language of OS X
in System Preferences and restarting QuarkXPress.
Any language edition of QuarkCopyDesk can open, display, and output a project that
uses East Asian features. However, you can only edit text that uses East Asian features
if your East Asian Preference is enabled (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit > East Asian)..
Applying a character language
The character language attribute determines which dictionary is used for spell checking
and which rules and exceptions are used for hyphenation. When you check the spelling
of text that uses different languages, each word is checked using the assigned language
dictionary. When automatic hyphenation is enabled for a project that uses different
character languages, each word is hyphenated using the appropriate hyphenation rules
and hyphenation exceptions for that language.
To apply a character language to text:
• (Windows only) Use the Language drop-down menu in the Character Attributes
dialog box (Style > Character)
• Use style sheets and the Character/Character Attributes pane of the Measurements
palette.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 153
WORKING WITH MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
Changing the program language
To specify the program language:
• (Windows only) Choose an option from the Edit > Program Language submenu.
• (Mac OS X only) The program language is determined by your OS language at the time
of install. You can change the UI language by changing the display language of OS X
in System Preferences and restarting QuarkXPress.
Your menus, dialog boxes, and palettes change to the chosen language. Keyboard
commands are based on the program language.
The program language has no effect on hyphenation and spell checking.

XTENSIONS SOFTWARE
XTensions software
You can use XTensions modules to add features such as palettes, commands, tools,
and menus that augment just about every activity you undertake.
Working with XTensions modules
QuarkCopyDesk ships with a default set of XTensions modules, documented in this
chapter. You can also install additional XTensions software developed by Quark or by
third-party companies.
Most XTensions come in two parts: One file for the functionality of the XTensions
module, and another file for its user interface. The name of the user interface module
typically ends in "UI." XTensions modules that do not have any user interface do not
have to have a UI file.
Installing XTensions modules
To install XTensions modules, place them in the "XTensions" folder within your
application folder. Newly installed XTensions modules load the next time you launch.
Enabling and disabling XTensions modules
You might want to disable XTensions modules if you are short on memory or for
troubleshooting purposes. To enable or disable an XTensions module, first choose
Utilities > XTensions Manager to display the XTensions Manager dialog box.
You can use the XTensions Manager dialog box to enable and disable XTensions modules.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 155
XTENSIONS SOFTWARE
To enable a module, check the box next to its name in the Enable column. To disable
a module, uncheck its box. The change takes effect the next time you launch the
application.
Working with XTensions sets (Windows only)
If you find that you frequently enable and disable particular groups of XTensions
modules, you can create an XTensions set that makes it easy to switch between these
groups.
To create an XTensions group, first display the XTensions Manager dialog box (Utilities
menu) and enable the XTensions modules you want in the group. Then click Save As
and enter a name for the group. When you want to switch to this group, simply display
the XTensions Manager dialog box and choose the group's name from the Set
drop-down menu.

Type Tricks
Type Tricks is XTensions software that adds the following typographic utilities: Make
Fraction, Make Price, Word Space Tracking, Line Check, and Custom Underline.
Make Fraction
The Make Fraction command (Style > Type Style) enables you to format fractions
automatically. This command becomes active when a fraction is selected or the cursor
is placed adjacent to (and on the same line as) the characters that make up the fraction.
Examples of fractions that could be formatted are: 11/42, 131/416, and 11/4x.
To convert characters into a fraction, select the characters and choose Style > Type
Style > Make Fraction.
The characters in the fraction are converted using Baseline Shift and the formatting
specified in the Fraction/Price tab of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkCopyDesk/Edit > Preferences > Application > Fraction/Price).
Make Price
The Make Price command (Style > Type Style) enables you to format prices
automatically. This command is available when text that can be formatted as a price
(such as $1.49, £20.00, and a.bc) is selected or the cursor is adjacent to (and on the
same line as) any of the characters. A price must contain a radix (decimal symbol),
which is indicated by a period or comma. Characters before and after the radix can
be only letters or numbers.
To convert characters to a price, select the characters you want to format and choose
Style > Type Style > Make Price.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 157
XTENSIONS SOFTWARE
When you apply Make Price, QuarkCopyDesk automatically applies the superior type
style to the characters that follow the radix.
The appearance of converted fractions and prices is determined by the values and
selections entered in the Fraction/Price tab of the Preferences dialog box (
QuarkCopyDesk /Edit > Preferences > Application > Fraction/Price).
Word Space Tracking
The Word Space Tracking feature enables you to apply tracking to word spaces only.
(Tracking values are normally applied between both characters and words.) This feature
can only be accessed through keyboard commands.
Mac OS X
Tracking value
Command
Increase space by 05 em

Word Space Tracking is applied by applying manual kerning after each selected space.
To remove Word Space Tracking, select the text and then choose Utilities > Remove
Manual Kerning (on Windows) or Style > Remove Manual Kerning (on Mac OS X)
Line Check
Use the Line Check feature to find widows, orphans, loosely justified lines, lines that
end with a hyphen, and text box overflow. Line Check (Utilities > Line Check) moves
through a document, highlighting questionable lines.
To specify what Line Check should look for, display the Search Criteria dialog box
(Utilities > Line Check > Search Criteria) and check the categories of undesirable
typography you want to search for.
To search the entire document, place the cursor somewhere in the text and choose
Utilities > Line Check > First Line. To search from the location of the cursor to the
end of the document, place the cursor where you want to start the search and choose
Utilities > Line Check > Next Line or press Command+;/Ctrl+;. To continue the
search, press Command+;/Ctrl+;.

XTENSIONS SOFTWARE
Custom Underline
The Custom Underline feature lets you customize the color, shade, width, and offset
of underlines. Custom underlines behave much like type style underlines, but can be
customized with more control over the underline attributes.
Custom underline styles work much like style sheets. To create, edit, or delete an
underline style, choose Edit > Underline Styles. To apply a custom underline style,
choose its name from the Style > Underline Styles submenu on Windows and from
the Style > Type Style > Underline Styles submenu on Mac OS X .
To apply a custom underline, select the text you want to underline and choose Style >
Underline Styles > Custom on Windows and choose Style > Type Style > Underline
Styles > Custom on Mac OS X. In the Underline Attributes dialog box, you can specify
the color, shade, width, and offset of the underline.
To remove a custom underline, select the text and then choose Style > Type Style >
Remove Custom Underline ( on Windpws) or Style > Type Style > Underline Styles
> Remove Custom Underline (on Mac OS X).
DejaVu XTensions software (Windows only)
DejaVu XTensions software adds a list of recently opened projects to the File menu,
either at the bottom or as a hierarchical menu from the File > Open submenu. This
list enables you to access projects with increased speed and ease. You can also use
DejaVu to designate default folders for retrieving text and pictures, and for opening
and saving projects.
The File List feature adds a list of recently opened projects to the File menu, either at
the bottom or as a hierarchical menu from the File > Open submenu. You can choose
to display from three to nine recently edited and saved projects. To change File List
settings, use the controls in the File List pane of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu).
Use the Default Path feature to designate default folders for the following File menu
commands: Open, Import, Save, and Save as.
The Default Path feature does not work until you specify default paths. To do so, display
the Default Path pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu).
Once you have specified a default path for a File menu command, the application uses
that path whenever you execute that command.
Multiple Article XTensions software
Multiple Article XTensions software lets you work with articles in QuarkXPress. You
can use this module to tag a series of text and picture boxes as an article and rearrange
the order of the components in that article. When you’re done, you can either save
the project and open it in QuarkCopyDesk, or export articles as QuarkCopyDesk article
files.
The tagging of articles in QuarkXPress is done with the Reflow Tagging palette

Article preferences
The article-level preferences available in the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu) let you control preferences for the active article. If no
article is open, changes to article preferences apply to all subsequently created articles.
Preferences — Article — General
Use the General pane in the Article section of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu) to customize the following features.
Use the Auto Picture Import drop-down menu to control whether the application
automatically updates pictures that have been modified since you last opened an
article.
• To enable the Auto Picture Import feature, choose On. When you open a project, the
application automatically reimports modified pictures into each layout using the
modified files.
• To disable the Auto Picture Import feature, choose Off.
• (Windows only) To display an alert before the application imports modified pictures,
choose Verify.
Check Use OpenType Kerning to activate the default kerning values for OpenType
fonts. When OpenType kerning is active, it overrides any kerning specified in
QuarkXPress through Kerning Table Edit (Utilities menu) for OpenType fonts.
To disable OpenType kerning for full-width characters, check Do Not Kern Full Width
Characters.
Preferences — Print Layout/Default Article — General
Use the Layout versions of the General pane of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu) to specify various default settings for page layout.
In the Display area:
• When you check Greek Text Below and enter a value in the field, the application
speeds screen redraw by "greeking" — displaying gray bars in place of text smaller than
a specified size. Greeking does not affect printing or export. Text greeking is affected
by the viewing percentage.
• Check Greek Pictures to enable the application to display imported pictures as gray
boxes. Selecting a box that contains a greeked picture displays the picture normally.
Preferences — Print Layout/Default Article — Measurements
Use the Measurements pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit
menu) to specify default measuring units for rulers and the Measurements palette:
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 175
PREFERENCES
• Use the Horizontal and Vertical drop-down menus to specify the measurement system
for the rulers displayed along the top and left of the layout window. Horizontal
corresponds to the top ruler; Vertical corresponds to the left ruler.
• Several other aspects of the user interface are affected by the Horizontal and Vertical
drop-down menus, including the default X and Y coordinates in the Measurements
palette. The application automatically converts font size, frame width, leading, and
line width to points, regardless of the measurement system you choose.
• Use the Points/Inch field to override the default value of 72 points per inch. The
application uses the value here as the basis for all point and pica measurements, as
well as for all point- and pica-to-inch conversions. The desktop publishing standard
for points per inch is 72. However, the traditional typographic standard used on most
metal typographic rulers is usually approximately 72.27 or 72.307 points per inch
(range = 60 to 80 pt, measurement system = points, smallest increment = .001).
• Use the Ciceros/cm field to specify a ciceros-to-centimeter conversion value different
from the standard 2.1967 (range = 2 to 3 c, measurement system = ciceros, smallest
increment = .001).
• Use the Measurement Units drop-down menu to set the default measurement unit
for new articles.
Preferences — Print Layout/Default Article — Paragraph
Use the Paragraph pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu)
to control various paragraph-level settings.
Use the Auto Leading feature to automatically set line spacing. You can apply this
setting to a paragraph by entering "auto" or "0" in the Leading field of the Paragraph
Attributes dialog box (Style > Leading). Unlike paragraphs with absolute leading
(identical line spacing above every line), paragraphs with auto leading may include
lines with different leading when fonts and font sizes are mixed in the same paragraph.
Auto leading starts with a base amount of leading, which the application calculates
by examining the ascent and descent values built into the fonts used in an auto-leaded
line and the line above it; however, the user-specified text size (Style > Size) plays the
largest part in determining this base amount. Finally, a value specified by the user in
the Auto Leading field is added to the base amount to arrive at the total amount of
leading.
To specify percentage-based auto leading, enter a value from 0% to 100% in 1%
increments. This value determines the amount of leading between two lines of text
as follows: The largest font size in the line above is multiplied by the percentage value.
This outcome is added to the base amount of auto leading between the two lines.
Although the design of certain fonts complicates the process, here is a simplified
example: 10-point text styled consistently in a "standard" font with Auto Leading set
to 20% has 12 points of leading (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
176 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
PREFERENCES
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 the application 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.
Preferences — Print Layout/Default Article — Character
Use the Character pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit menu)
to specify how the application 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 the application
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 font size. The HScale value determines width and is
a percentage of the normal character width (as specified by the font designer). The
default value for both scales is 60% (range = 0 to 100%, measurement
system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Subscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of subscript characters.
The Offset value determines how far above the baseline the application places a
subscript 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 font size. The HScale value determines width and is a percentage
of the normal character width (as specified by the font designer). The default value
for both scales is 100% (range = 0 to 100%, measurement system = percentage, smallest
increment = .1).
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 177
PREFERENCES
• Use the Small Caps area to control the scale of characters with the Small Caps type
style applied to them. The VScale value determines the vertical size of the character
and is measured as a percentage of font size. The HScale value determines width and
is measured as a percentage of the normal character width (as specified by the font
designer). The default value for both scales is 75% (range = 0 to 100%, measurement
system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Superior area to control the scale of superior characters. The VScale value
determines the vertical size of the character and is measured as a percentage of font
size. The HScale value determines width and is measured as a percentage of the normal
character width (as specified by the font designer). The default value for both scales
is 60% (range = 0 to 100%, measurement system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Ligatures area to use ligatures built into a font. A ligature is a typographic
convention in which certain characters are combined into a single glyph. Most fonts
contain ligatures for the characters "f" followed by "i" and "f" followed by "l". The Break
Above field enables you to specify the kerning or tracking value (measured in 1/200
em space increments) above which characters will not be combined into ligatures. For
example, a headline with a large tracking value would probably not contain ligatures.
The default value is 1 (range = 0 to 10, measurement system = .005 [1/200] em space,
smallest increment = .001). To prevent the second two letters in "ffi" and "ffl" (as in
office and waffle) from being combined into ligatures, check Not "ffi" or "ffl".
Three-character ligatures for these combinations, common in traditional typesetting
systems, are not standardized in fonts designed for Mac OS, so some typographers
prefer to keep all three letters separate rather than combine only two of them. Note
that many PostScript fonts do not have "ffi" and "ffl" ligatures, but most OpenType
fonts do. This option is unchecked by default.
• Check Auto Kern Above to specify that the application uses kerning tables, which are
built into most fonts, to control intercharacter spacing. The Auto Kern Above field
enables you to specify the point size above which automatic kerning must be used.
The Auto Kern Above feature also implements custom tracking information specified
in the Tracking Values dialog box for a selected font (Utilities > Edit Tracking). This
option is checked by default, with a 4-point threshold (range = 0 to 72 pt, measurement
system = various [", pt, cm, etc.], smallest increment = .001).
• Check Standard Em Space to specify an em-space equivalent to the point size of the
text (for example, 24pt text has a 24pt em space). If Standard Em Space is unchecked,
the application uses the width of the two zeros in the current font as the em-space
width. This option is checked by default. You can insert an em space in text by pressing
Option+space/Ctrl+Shift+6.
• Use the Flex Space Width field to change the 50% default width of a flexible space.
To create a breaking flexible space, press Option+Shift+space/Ctrl+Shift+5; to create a
nonbreaking flexible space, press Command+Option+Shift+space/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+5.
The Flex Space Width value is expressed as a percentage of the normal en space for
a given font and font size (range = 0 to 400%, measurement system = percentage,
smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Accents for All Caps check box to specify whether to include accent marks
on accented characters with the All Caps type style applied. This option is checked by
default.
178 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015
PREFERENCES
• Use the Space between CJK & R field to indicate how much space should be included
by default between a Chinese, Japanese, or Korean character and an adjacent Roman
character.
Preferences — Print Layout/Default Article — Guides and Grid
Use the Guides and Grid pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit
menu) to specify various default settings for guides and design grids.
In the Guides area:
• To specify default margin and guide colors, use the Margin Color and Guide Color
buttons.
• Click In Front of Content or Behind Content to specify whether ruler guides and
page guides are placed in front of or behind all items on a page.
In the Page Grid area:
• To control the minimum zoom value at which the master page grid and text box grids
become visible, enter a value in the Zoom Visibility field.
• Click In Front of Content or Behind Content to specify whether the master page
grid is placed in front of or behind all items on a page. If you click In Front of Content,
you can also specify whether the master page grid is in front of or behind guides.
Preferences — Print Layout/Default Article — Grid Cell Fill
Use the Grid Cell Fill pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkCopyDesk/Edit
menu) to control how design grid cells are filled.
• To specify which cells will be filled, check Increment Fill and enter a value in the
field. For example, to fill cells four, eight, and twelve, enter 4.
• To restart cell counting at the beginning of each line in a text box, click Start of Line.
To start cell counting from the beginning of the story and continue counting regardless
of line breaks, click Start of Story.
