QuarkExpress
The industry-leading software for design and layout

QuarkXPress® is powerful layout software with an intuitive, versatile interface that lets you combine writing, editing, and typography with color and pictures to produce dynamic final output.

QuarkXPress is widely used by magazines, newspapers, advertising agencies, typesetters, printers, corporate publishers, design firms, catalog houses, book publishers, and form designers. It is also used by businesses with publishing requirements.

Intuitive and adaptable interface
The intuitive QuarkXPress interface is largely based on palettes that let you choose from a variety of tools, styles, colors, measurements, and so on to quickly construct a document. Using the comprehensive editing features of QuarkXPress, you can import and manipulate pictures and text. With the powerful printing features of QuarkXPress, you can output your document to precise specifications. It’s easy to adapt the interface to suit your work habits. For instance, you can hide palettes that you rarely use and display frequently used palettes at all times. Because palettes are movable, you can arrange them exactly how you want them. In addition to menus, you can swiftly access features using context menus, and numerous keyboard commands let you perform routine tasks quickly. The flexibility of the QuarkXPress interface lets you design a workspace that really works for you.

Picture manipulation and color management
QuarkXPress allows you to smoothly integrate pictures with text. Picture file formats created by image-editing or graphics applications can be imported into QuarkXPress documents. Imported pictures can be scaled, skewed, rotated, and clipped. They can be modified using color and shade controls, clipping path settings, and runaround specifications. The picture manipulation abilities of QuarkXPress give you great creative control and versatility. QuarkXPress also provides ICC-based color management on both Mac OS and Windows platforms. Apple ColorSync and Kodak Digital Science technology are both supported.

Flexible options for importing and editing text
You can write, edit, and check spelling in QuarkXPress. You can also use filters to import text files into QuarkXPress documents to save time and money. Filters for most popular word-processing applications are provided with the QuarkXPress application. The text options in QuarkXPress provide greater flexibility.

Precise and professional typography
The extensive typographic controls in QuarkXPress allow you to manipulate text to meet precise specifications. You can kern and track text in .001 increments in any supported measurement system, use paragraph and character style sheets to quickly and consistently format text, scale text, create custom hyphenation and justification specifications, and more.

Multiple document layout and text flow options
QuarkXPress offers several ways to arrange your document pages. You can create multiple-page spreads, specify facing pages, and use master pages to make global changes to the document. Palettes and menu options make it simple to add, delete, or rearrange pages.

You can control text flow by creating text boxes that automatically flow the text to the next page; you can also manually specify text flow from one text box to the next, no matter how far apart the text boxes are.

Improved long-document publishing features include indexing and default character style sheets for cross-references. You can also specify character style sheets when defining a list, making the List feature more versatile and powerful.
