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,

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.

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.

economizes space while providing easy access to functions.
To attach a palette to a palette group, Control+click/right-click the title bar of a palette
group and choose an unchecked palette name. When you attach a palette that is already
displayed, the palette moves to become part of the palette group. To detach a palette from
a palette group, Control+click/right-click the palette name and choose Detach [palette
name].
Using palette sets
The Palette Sets feature lets you store and recall the position and status of all open palettes

and hide all other palettes. Then choose Window > Palette Sets > Save Palette Set As to
display the Save Palette Set As dialog box, enter a name, and optionally assign a key
command.
28 | A GUIDE TO QUARKCOPYDESK 8.1
THE USER INTERFACE
To retrieve a palette set, choose Window > Palette Sets > [name of palette set] or press
the keyboard combination for that palette set.
Splitting a window
By splitting a window into two or more panes, you can display multiple views of one article
at the same time, and you can see changes in all panes simultaneously. You 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.
