It’s really easy to move around a spread, or even around an entire layout, without using the scroll bars. You can zoom to a precise magnification level without using the Zoom tool by pressing Ctrl+V (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+V (PC) and typing the View percentage you want. You can set the zoom increments in the Zoom tool’s Preferences window.
When you are not editing text, you can zoom in and out of your layout by holding down the Command (Mac) or Ctrl (PC) key and tapping + or –. There are no customisable options for the Item, Content or Rotation tools. For example, you could set all new picture boxes to have a coloured frame of a specific thickness. You can then click the Modify button and customise its defaults. This also works while using the Content tool if you have selected two or more items on the page, whether by Shift-clicking them or dragging a selection marquee over them.ĭouble-click on a tool in the Tools palette to open the Preferences window for that tool. When the Item tool is active, press the Tab key to deselect everything.
Send the tool back to its original flyout by Ctrl-clicking (Mac) or right-clicking (PC) on it. To add a Flyout tool to the bottom of the Tools palette, Ctrl-click (Mac) or right-click (PC) on that tool when selecting it for use. To disable this temporarily, and keep a tool selected so you can keep re-using it, hold down the Option (Mac) or Alt (PC) key the first time you click on it. QuarkXPress switches back to the Item or Content tool - whichever one you last used - straight after you have used any of the tools in the Tools palette.
