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:
• 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.
Conventions
Formatting conventions highlight information to help you quickly find what you
need.
A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 2016 | 9
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
• 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.
