Features of "QuarkXPress":
New Picture and Pen Tools
Integrate images into your layout quickly and seamlessly with QuarkXPress 8. New Picture ToolIntuitively place, scale, rotate, and offset images easily using the new Picture Content tool - no need to switch tools or enter numbers in a palette or dialog box. You can even see a visual preview as you crop an image! Draw brand new illustrations directly in QuarkXPress 8 with the redefined Bezier Pen tool - just like you do in Illustrator and other major graphics applications. Most importantly, you can focus on the task at hand because weve separated illustration tools from the tools you use for basic page-layout tasks.
· Rotate and scale pictures directly with the new Picture Content tool, and preview cropping results as you work
· Grab box corners and rotate without switching to a different tool
· Draw with ease using new Bezier pen tools that follow graphics standards used by other professional creative applications
· Explore new text-to-box support for multiple lines, entire stories, and even multiple boxes, up to an entire spread
· When converting text to boxes, maintain the appearance of the text, including color, opacity, and most other text transformations
· Make the most of dedicated tools for layout and illustration tasks
Easy Page Layout with Drag and Drop
Little things make a big difference - we think youll love the way we handle drag and drop. Design as quickly and fluidly as your ideas. When you move your text or picture content to the page, the box is automatically created - no need to pre-define boxes! You can drag text and pictures from your desktop, Adobe Bridge, iP, or any other application that supports drag and drop, and your box is created for you. You can even drag picture boxes from QuarkXPress to your graphics application to customize your images.
· Drag and drop from your desktop or other applications that support drag and drop, such as Adobe Bridge
· Drop a text file in the midst of existing text flow
· Drag and drop images from your layout to the editing application of your choice
· Work with or without pre-defined boxes
· Import any kind of content into any kind of box - no need to switch box content type
Streamlined Tools with Familiar Keyboard Controls
Picking the right tool for the job is easy in QuarkXPress 8. Weve streamlined and simplified our Tools palette, so the tools do more and its easier to choose the right one. Even familiar tools like the Item and Content tools get major boosts. For example, you can rotate any box simply by grabbing its corner.Streamlined Tools palette Youll also enjoy single-key commands - consistent with familiar applications such as Photoshop - to select tools, as well as keyboard modifiers for duplicating, scaling from center, and performing other common tasks. By aligning with your other mission-critical tools, while keeping everything you love, QuarkXPress gives you the best of both worlds!
· Use any box tool to draw a box without worrying about its content (an easy keyboard shortcut enables this for template creation)
· Select or switch tools using a single-letter command, or use traditional QuarkXPress keyboard shortcuts

Whats New in This Release:
· Expand your Linotype library: For a limited time, registered QuarkXPress 6.5 users gain access to a font package with more than 40 OpenType fonts from Linotype. And if you are prompted with a "Missing font" message, you can click the "Buy missing font" button and buy additional fonts from Linotype at a special price for registered users.
· Manipulate images right in QuarkXPress 6.5 with powerful QuarkVista XTensions® software and forget about expensive image editing software.
· Import native Adobe® Photoshop documents (.psd files) into QuarkXPress and exploit the power of multi-layer Photoshop images without leaving QuarkXPress.
· Place guides on a master page s pasteboard and display them automatically in your layout.
· Group tables with other QuarkXPress items including other tables, picture boxes, and text boxes.
· Customize printing features such as saving output settings for custom bleeds as print styles.
· Simplify IT management with support for Citrix servers and run the application off a server instead of an individual user s computer.
· If you created a table in a layout, and set properties such as color, shade, text angle, and skew for cells of table column 1, then changed the content to picture content and ran an AppleScript, it returned junk. This issue has been resolved.
· If you applied a bleed value to an EPS file by executing an AppleScript®, it did not produce the specified bleed value in the actual output. This issue has been resolved.
· Mac OS 10.3.3 only: If you created a project with a couple of pages in it, made a picture box on the first page and another one on the second, grouped them, and ran an AppleScript to add reference to the boxes, it returned incorrect references and displayed alerts. This issue has been resolved.
· If you imported an EPS file with a Pantone® ink into a picture box, converted the imported Pantone ink to a process color (Control+click the ink in the Colors palette and choose Convert to Process from the context menu), modified the EPS file, and updated the picture in the layout, it resulted in a new Pantone color name with an asterisk prefixed to it in the Colors palette. This issue has been resolved and now the color retains the name it had before the modification.
· If you created a project, imported an XML file into it, saved it and then opened the project on a different operating system, dragging the elements of a DTD into a text box caused QuarkXPress to quit unexpectedly. This issue has been resolved.
· If you created a project, imported elements from a DTD and an XML file saved on the same location into a text box, saved it and then tried to open it, it displayed an alert "Invalid document structure" and lost all XML file(content) information. This issue has been resolved.
· In a layout, if you renamed an image, its status displayed as Missing in the Picture Usage dialog box; updating the image still displayed its status as Modified, instead of OK in the Picture Usage dialog box. This issue has been resolved.
· Mac OS 10.3.3 only: If you imported an SCT,BMP,PICT or PNG image with a clipping path into a picture box, QuarkXPress quit unexpectedly. This issue has been resolved.
· If you imported an image with an embedded path into a picture box and applied an embedded path to it, deleting the applied embedded path caused QuarkXPress to quit unexpectedly. This issue has been resolved.
· If you imported a picture into a picture box, saved the project in a specific location and then moved the picture file to the location of the project, it displayed the status of the picture as Missing(Utilities > Usage > Pictures). This issue has been resolved and QuarkXPress now locates the picture files that are in the same location as the project.
· Mac OS 10.3 only: If you created two text boxes, one larger than the other, in a print layout, then anchored the smaller box in the larger one; and tried to synchronize text (Style > Synchronize Text ), QuarkXPress quit unexpectedly. This issue has been resolved.
· At times, QuarkXPress quit unexpectedly while opening legacy documents with layers. This issue has been resolved.
· If you exported only selective layout pages as PDF, the anchors specified on the pages did not take the user to the destinations defined in the anchors. This issue has been resolved.
· If you imported a PDF with rotated content into a layout, and rotated the same PDF to any degree, then exported it as a PDF, it did not get exported correctly and displayed an image that did not exist. This issue has been resolved.
· If you created a PostScript file from a layout (File > Export > Layout as PDF) with the PDF preferences set to Create PostScript File for Later Distilling in the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress > Preferences > Application > PDF), a copy of the PostScript file was created in the "jaws emp" folder in addition to the specified folder for saving the PostScript file. This issue has been resolved and the PostScript file is now created only in the specified folder without creating a duplicate copy in "jaws emp" folder.
· If you placed a cropped PDF file in the center of a picture box, it did not center properly. This issue has been resolved and the cropped PDF files center correctly in a picture box.
· The name for a PDF file in the Preferences pane (Edit > Preferences) does not default to "Project: Layout.pdf". It remains "Layout.pdf".
· If you imported an EPS file into a picture box with no font embedded, and the font is not available on the system, saving the layout as an EPS file still displayed the font as embedded in the EPS file. This issue has been resolved.
· Mac OS 10.3.5 only: If you tried to print text from a layout using ITC Zapf Dingbats font, QuarkXPress displayed a PostScript alert. This issue has been resolved.
· If you tried to print a layout with a cropped PDF file embedded as a picture, it caused the picture position to be printed incorrectly. This issue has been resolved.
· If you tried to print a layout using a Xerox PPD (File > Print > Setup > Printer Description), QuarkXPress quit unexpectedly. This issue has been resolved.
· Mac OS 10.3.3 only: If you created a project with specific Czech characters using Helvetica CE, Geneva CE 9 or 10 point size and printed it to any PostScript printer, the spacing between the 9 and 10 point characters appeared different from other point sizes. Also, when printed, negative kerning was applied for all capital characters along with positive kerning for lowercase characters. These issues have been resolved.

· Worked around a problem caused by non-conforming XTensions (like PSD Import) where loading a picture was causing Xtags to emit incorrect text in its error messages.
· The print suppression flag is no longer ignored when creating boxes with Xtags 4.2.2 in QuarkXPress 5.0.
