Hyphens

[colobean]

Hi there,

Two Things:

1)One is it okay to reduce the size of a high quality image in Quark and then send to print? I know you can not increase the size but wanted to know if there was any loss of quality if you decrease the size?

2) I want to make my document have no hyphens at all when importing from Word, Quark still seems to create Hyphens even when I turn Auto-Hyphenation off, I still get hyphens in my text. What am I doing wrong? (I work on a PC)

Thank you very much for any help.

1. You should check with your printer to find out what the lowest resolution is that he requires at final size. If you save the resolution of the images lower than that, the quality will be correspondingly lower.

There are a few other things to consider.
i.e. If you have placed your image in the file at 100 percent and your printer requires 300dpi, then that is the resolution you should provide.
If you place the image and reduce it to 50 percent, then the resolution of the image can actually be reduced to 150 line.
If you place the image & enlarge it 200 percent, then you need the resolution of the image to be 600dpi to get the best quality.

2. I create my own set of hyphenation rules. Open Quark - do not create a new document.
Edit/H&Js/new
Name the set "No hyphens"
Turn off auto-hyphenation
Hyphens in a row - set to 0

Now whenever you open a new document, select the copy, Style/Formats/H&J, assign "No hyphens"

Hope this helps
