QuarkXPress Tips Tricks

Book by Blatner, David, Taub, Eric, Blatner

Like any powerful computer program, QuarkXPress has its quirks. So David Blatner wrote The QuarkXPress Book , the best-selling book of all time on this popular professional desktop publishing program. Many readers demanded more tips like the ones in the book; others sent Blatner their own tips. Several books later, Blatner and two other QuarkXPerts have written QuarkXPress Tips & Tricks, Second Edition . It's a collection of the best tips, tricks, and industrial strength techniques from scores of users all over the world, gathered from online services, meetings and conferences, and letters and interviews. Naturally, the book also includes the authors' own secrets for getting exactly what they want out of the program. The book comes with a CD-ROM with more than 50 megabytes of QuarkXTensions, shareware, clip art, and licensed commercial software.

QuarkXPress Tips & Tricks discusses every aspect of QuarkXPress, including navigating the program's interface, managing long documents, massaging simple text into beautiful type, linking with graphics, and speeding the printing of documents. Other topics include color, style sheets, and XPress Tags. Plus the book includes an extensive chapter to help troubleshoot any problems encountered. The last two chapters cover XPress for Windows and older versions of XPress. Many tips are broken out into instructions; others just give a succinct explanation of some secret, unknown feature. Dozens of black and white and color illustrations complement and clarify the text. This edition is a full rewrite and redesign of the book. It now covers the latest version of QuarkXPress and includes more than one hundred new and undocumented tips, tricks, and techniques for getting the most out of this program.
