Item Find/Change
The Item Find/Change feature lets you find and replace a huge variety of item attributes, including box characteristics, box colors, frame characteristics, line attributes, picture attributes, text attributes, and drop-shadow attributes. You can even search for one attribute (such as box size), and then wherever it’s found, change a different attribute (such as the number of columns).
Item Styles
Item styles are like style sheets for items. An item style is a named package of formatting options for items. For example, you can define an item style named “Sidebar” that describes a box of a particular size and color with a particular frame, text inset, vertical alignment, and runaround — then assign that item style to a box by clicking the item style in a palette or pressing a custom keyboard command.
Speed Layout with Master Pages
The Master Pages feature lets you create a “template” for a page, then use that template throughout a layout. You can have multiple master pages per layout — for example, one for the cover, one for the TOC, and one for body pages. If you update a master page, all of the pages that use it get updated automatically. Combine shared content and you can even create hierarchical master pages.
AppleScript
AppleScript lets you control applications such as QuarkXPress with scripts. AppleScript is an intuitive,
easy-to-learn scripting language that has been built into Mac OS® for more than 15 years.
