    Template page won’t fully set in ID CS5

    I want to set a template where the page size and pasteboard will stay exactly as they are when I save .. which is with the pasteboard closed up close around my doc. But, CS5 won’t lock that size setting in. Every time I reopen the template, the pasteboard is spread out again covering my whole...

    Latest on Quark 8 Shipping Date

    Just talked to Quark. Today is July 10. They said shipping date for 8 is about 45 days from today. Sorry to hear that. I’m anxious to get it! One of the Mag writers had previously said it would ship on July 27.

    Hanging Characters

    This has to be a dumb question for you Pros. BUT .. what are Hanging Characters? Quark is making a big deal over this feature to be in 8. I hope it’s something that lets you stylize text some .. kinda like TypeStyler. (But, I don’t expect it to go that far.) I’m anxious to get 8. Hope it...

    Having “most used” fonts handy

    I forgot to mention, when you launch Quark and there no files open, then go to Edit Styles Sheets and add the fonts you want to be available.      That way every time you start a new job those fonts will be there. IMacQuarker =========== Thanks so much for your help. But, could you please be...

    Having “most used” fonts handy

    Sometimes in a document I’m working with several text boxes each with a different font. Usually 3 or 4 different fonts total. Instead of going to my huge font list - each time - to click on the font I want for a particular box .. is there any way I can have those 3 or 4 fonts someplace handy...

    Qk 7 ruler popping up

    I don’t want to dominate the forum with my questions but .. here’s another one: Sometimes a ruler pops up over my text box. I very seldom want this. I can’t find where to disable this without disabling ALL rulers. Help please. Thanks.

    Quark 7 increasing & decreasing point size by 1 point

    Thank you! Thank you! Shift, Option, Com, > That did it!!!!! I’m so old that I forget things. Maybe that’s what I did in Qk 5 but forgot. Little help tips like that really mean a lot.

    Quark 7 increasing & decreasing point size by 1 point

    In Qk 5, I could increase, or decrease, the point size 1 point at a time hitting F13 for increase or F14 for decrease. That doesn’t work in 7. The problem is that I can’t remember if I did this in 5 using macros with Quickeys, or if it was a built-in Qk short cut. In any event, it was REALLY A...

    QuarkXpress 8

    I see that Quark 8 is out. (Buy 7 and get 8 free, etc.) Quark showed some reviews, maybe Beta testers. I see that it has drag & drop which it needed. Would love it if it has some typestyling features, like TypeStyler. Anyone know anything about it?

    Eliminating Unused Fonts

    I’m old now, not in good health and retired. Years back, I bought the very first version of Quark when it was introduced. I never became an expert because printing wasn’t my main business. But, always enjoyed using it. But, over the years, I have accumulated “tons” of fonts. Probably 95% I...

    7.3 Improvements Over 7.0

    Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but .. would someone please name the differences between 7.3 and 7.0. And, are these differences meaningful? Thanks.

    Quark 7 Font List Display

    I decided to get FontCard for $17. So far, it works just fine.

    Quark 7 Font List Display

    Thanks for your reply. Just remembered: the feature I’m looking for is WYSIWYG which programmers have had for YEARS! Word also has it and I bet many other writing programs do too. It’s hard to imagine that such a sophisticated program as Quark - whose whole purpose is “writing creativity” -...

    Quark 7 Font List Display

    Can anyone tell me how to get Quark 7 (with Sys X) to display the fonts (in the font list) as they actually print out? My older Quark 5 (with Sys 9) displayed these fonts, as they really are, but I think I had put in a control panel, or something, that made it do it. Thanks so much.
