| QuarkXpress Tips: How to Move Content Between Print and Web Layouts
Since its release in 1987, QuarkXpress had made an immediate
impact to computer enthusiasts. QuarkXPress introduced precision
typography, layout and color control to the desktop computer,
and delivered those features to designers at a fraction of the
cost of proprietary typesetting systems. Quark software programs
had been widely utilized to create, design and manage their
documents such as books, catalogs, brochures, packaging,
newspapers, magazines and online materials.
At present, Quark maintains its industry leadership with a
product line that ties together traditional print publishing
with enterprise content management, personalization and tools
for creating collaborative, cross-media workflows. Regarding
enterprise content management, I have here a brief description
about moving or copying content between print and web layouts.
Here are the ways to achieve this.
First, change the layout medium type in the Layout Properties
dialog box (Layout > Layout Properties). Next, drag items
between projects. Then, copy items from one layout and paste
them into the other. Drag items into a library, and then from
the library into a layout. It is important to note that if you
convert a box from one type of layout to another, some of that
box’s attributes may no longer apply. However, they are saved
with the box. Say, a text box in a web layout is set to export
in JPEG format. If you convert the layout to a print layout, the
"export as JPEG" setting is ignored. But if you drag that box
into a different web layout, it will still remember the “export
as JPEG” setting.
When you transfer content from a print to a web layout, several
cganges occur. The Convert to Graphic on Export check box is
checked for all text boxes. This ensures that text in the print
layout is displayed, whether or not the text styles can be
formatted in an HTML text box. Linked text boxes on facing pages
are displayed as separate text boxes on the same page in a Web
layout. The first box of a spread of linked text boxes can be
moved to a Web layout and it will contain the content from all
the linked boxes in the spread. Tabs are displayed as spaces in
a Web layout. Remember also that style sheet attributes that are
not supported in HTML text boxes are marked with an asterisk in
the Edit Style Sheets dialog box (Edit > Style Sheets).
There you have it, folks! You can now apply this simple tutorial
in your next project using Quark Xpress. Enjoy what you’re
doing.
