1. Launch QuarkXPress and create a new document by clicking File > New Document.

This
opens the New Document dialog. Choose !" Letter #rom the "i$e bo% and Quark& will
supply the ' 1() % 11 inch paper dimensions. *nter +, points #or each o# the -argin .uides. /#
the de#ault units o# measurement are setup in points0 you don1t ha2e to enter pt a#ter each
number. Click each o# the 3acing Pages and 4utomatic Te%t 5o% check bo%es. The data
placed in this dialog sets up the de#ault master page #or the document. Click 67.
). 4t this point Quark will insert one blank master page 8which it calls 49-aster 4 and which
you can rename: and one blank document page into the document. Click File > Save0 name
the #ile techdoc.;%d then click "a2e.
4 master page is a page you design which can be applied to any document page. -aster
pages gi2e a document a distinct and consistent look. <ou place te%t and picture bo%es0 page
rules and other ob=ects on a master page =ust like any other document page. The big
ad2antage to using master pages 8like style tags: is that changes made to one master page
will re#lect on all the pages o# your document to which the master page has been applied.
5elow is the Document >iew showing the blank page.
1
+. There are three 2iews 8or displays: in Quark. There is a document 2iew0 a master page
2iew and a thumbnails 2iew. Quark doesn1t e%press these 2iews in e%actly these terms0 but
they e%ist0 ne2ertheless. <ou shi#t between document and master pages as you work. 6ne
way to shi#t between them is 2ia the Document palette 8below:.
The Document palette is di2ided into three sections. The top section contains blanks #or
creating new master pages. There is a blank #or single pages and a blank #or #acing pages.
The center section contains the master pages that ha2e been de#ined in your document and
the bottom section displays the document pages along the spine o# the document. <ou create
a new master page by dragging a blank #rom the top to the center section. <ou apply e%isting
master pages to the document by dragging them #rom the center section to pages in the
bottom section.
<ou shi#t to the document by double9clicking on any document page icon in the bottom
section. <ou shi#t to a master page by double9clicking on any master page icon in the center
section.
The 4 in page one o# the Document palette shown below shows that page one is based on
the 49-aster 4 master page 8de#ined in step 1 abo2e:. Double9click the master page icon
49-aster 4 #or the ne%t step.
2
?. 5elow are the master pages o# the spread created in step 1. Click the /tem tool 8the
top button in the Tool Palette: to prepare #or the ne%t step.
@. The #irst thing to place in our master pages will be page guides #or ob=ects to snap to. <ou
also can place page guides on indi2idual document pages but when each page re;uires
guides in the same positions0 it makes more sense to make one set o# guides on a master
page that will appear on e2ery page o# your document.
The $oom #actor a##ects the precision o# the placement o# page guides. <ou determine the
$oom #actor by trial and error. The $oom #actor you choose in setting up your own master
pages will depend upon where the page guides will be placed. /n this case $oom to ?AAB.
/# the rulers and the -easurements palette are not already showing0 click View > Show
Rulers and View > Show Measurements to display them. Drag the mouse #rom the top ruler
downwards watching the -easurements palette as you drag. Chen the y9coordinate reaches
11).@ points0 release the mouse button.
3
,. The y9coordinate will be displayed in the -easurements palette so long as the mouse
button is held down while dragging a hori$ontal page guide. Con2ersely0 the %9coordinate will
be displayed while dragging a 2ertical page guide. 4s soon as the mouse button is released0
the coordinate 2alue will disappear #rom the -easurements palette. There is no way to select
a page guide and position it with the measurements palette by entering 2alues in the % and y
coordinates. This is why the $oom #actor must be worked out be#ore creating or repositioning
page guides. Page guides are deleted by #irst selecting the /tem tool then dragging the page
guide into the ruler and releasing the mouse button.
D. That brings us to a 2ery important point about using QuarkXPress. 4lways record the $oom
2alue used to position page guides in the e2ent that they become inad2ertently repositioned.
5eginning with 2ersion ?.A?0 Quark has included the .uides -anager e%tension. This utility
will enable you to lock page guides and pre2ent their being mo2ed by accident. Prior to the
.uides -anager0 it was o#ten #aster to ditch a page and recreate it by pasting the page
ob=ects on a new page than to try to #ool with repositioning page guides.
"till0 / recommend making a printout o# a master page and recording all the speci#ications o#
page guides and repeating ob=ects 8like te%t bo%es and rules: in addition to the $oom #actors
needed #or positioning page guides. !se the printout as a map #or creating catalogs0
newsletters and other periodicals.
'. Drag another hori$ontal page guide to D+E.@ points and release the mouse button.

E. Fepeat steps @ through ' #or the #acing page. Chen you ha2e completed all the steps up to
this point your master pages should look like the image belowG

.uess whatH Ce1re going to change the top and bottom margins. / put this in the tutorial
because you are probably going to do this in the real world. <ou are going to make changes
as you go because this is a creati2e endea2or.
1A. -ake sure the master pages are displayed. /# not click the 49-aster 4 icon in the
Document palette. <ou can also click Page > Display > A-Master A. 4nother #ast way to
switch between document and master pages is by using the .o9To9Page pop9up menu
located in the lower le#t corner o# the document windowG
11. Ne%t click Page > Master Guides... to bring up the -aster guides dialog. This is the
dialog used to modi#y the margins o# your document. The menu selection is grayed out i# the

#or the top and bottom margins and click 67.
1). Femember the dialog when you #irst created the document 8accessed by clicking File >
New > Doument:. There is no other dialog in Quark& like that #irst one where you can
make changes to your document. <ou might wonder how to change the page si$e and
orientation.
Ce aren1t going to make any changes0 but to do so you must #irst display a document page.
Ne%t click File > Doument Setup to gain access to the Document "etup dialog 8below:. The
menu selection is grayed out i# a master page is displayed. <ou can only access it i# a
document page is displayed. This is e%actly the opposite o# how to access the -aster .uides
dialog as in step ). The whole point o# this is to knowing how to control all aspects o# creating
documents.

Note: There is a difference between how the Macintosh and Windows
versions of QuarkXPress handle bold and italic fonts. In the Mac version
the bold font or italic font !ust be installed on the s"ste! to be available for
Quark# to use. In the Windows version however if the bold or italic font is
not installed Quark will $fake$ the bold or italic font. There is no wa" to tell
the difference within QuarkXPress alone. In the Windows version the onl"
wa" to be sure a bold or italic font is installed is to check the installed fonts
with a font !anager such as %TM. It is not a good idea to fake the bold or
italic font if "our docu!ent will be sent to a service bureau for out&ut.
