No worries, those tools are still available. If you are a veteran QuarkXPress user, you are probably wondering what happened to the Linking and Unlinking tools, which occupied a prominent place on the old Tools palette. Of course, you can, at any time, switch a text content box to a picture box, and vice versa.
Similarly, you can create boxes for pictures using the Picture Content Tool. Now you draw a text box using the Text Content Tool.Īfter drawing a text box, you simply double-click inside of the box to begin typing or editing text-even if you've selected the Item tool (the first tool on the Tools palette). Those problems are distant memories with QuarkXPress 8. A new URL parameter convertsectionstopagestacks has been added to provide this ability. In QuarkXPress 9.5.1.1, an option was added to allow the App Studio output to convert sections to page stacks. In fact, as a long-time QuarkXpress instructor, I found the concept a difficult one to hammer home to my students. The App Studio XTensions modules allow QuarkXPress Server to render Print and App Studio layouts in QuarkXPress projects as AVE issue files. While this approach worked, and worked well, for years, the process of switching tools always seems like an extra step to me. After drawing the text box, you then had to switch to a different tool, the Content tool, to type or edit text in the text box. With the older version of QuarkXPress you had to draw an item (for instance, a text box using the Text Box tool). It won't take you long to notice that the Tools palette has been streamlined from the palette available in QuarkXPress 7 and older. Let's begin with the most basic of QuarkXPress features. the new QuarkXPress 8 is here, complete with an interface that has been totally overhauled! Over the next few weeks, I'll be discussing some of my favorite improvements in QuarkXPress 8-the best version of the this top-notch print publishing application in, well, forever!
QUARKXPRESS 8.0 UPDATE
If you are a veteran QuarkXPress user like myself, you have probably lamented Quark's stubborn refusal to update the QuarkXPress interface over the years.
