Description:
QuarkXPress Tips & Tricks, Second Edition, is clearly for the random-access reader who knows where all of the menu items are and what they do. It's also a bonanza for users who need a push in other areas. The tips in this book are conceptually organized in the same way as they are in its counterpart, The QuarkXPress Book for Macintosh, and a good table of contents makes finding specific tips accessible. The organization inside each chapter tries to keep similar tips, undocumented features, and tasks to be wary of in the same general area. The tips are often brief bits of knowledge rather than instructions that say "use the command-option-shift combination to do such-and-such." There is one useful item that is not found elsewhere: a low-level trick to fix certain kinds of damaged files. You can find this and other troubleshooting advice in a separate chapter. The book also features appendices that cover AppleScripting and XTensions and a Macintosh-only CD-ROM that is loaded with Macintosh XTensions, a demonstration copy of QuarkXPress, and other tools. Windows users will find a chapter on cross-platform uses as well as some tips scattered throughout the book, but the CD-ROM is just a drink coaster for them.
