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:
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
• 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.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2015 | 9
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.

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
THE USER INTERFACE
• (Windows only) Click the split bar to the right of the scroll bar (for a vertical split) or
at the top of the scroll bar (for a horizontal split).
• Click the split-screen icons in the Article controls bar at the bottom of the Article
window.
Once a window has been split, you can change the width and height of the split by
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."
