Description

QuarkXPress 8 is a page-layout and design software by Quark. Intuitively place, scale, rotate, and offset images easily using the new Picture Content tool — no need to switch tools or enter numbers in a palette or dialog box. You can even see a visual preview as you crop an image!

Draw brand new illustrations directly in QuarkXPress 8 with the redefined Bézier Pen tool — just like you do in Illustrator and other major graphics applications.

Create rich Flash projects using the built-in Flash authoring capabilities. Take existing print jobs to Flash, or create new Flash projects, in minutes — no additional purchase or coding required! Interactive design includes support for all of the new typographic features, the improved illustration (pen) tool set, full integration with Item Styles and other features, and support for more than 30 languages, including East Asian scripts. No other page-layout application gives you such advanced design capabilities that you can apply directly and easily to Flash design!

Easy-to-use, precise, and fully customizable control for hanging characters. Control the look of your text margin alignment by quickly applying preloaded settings for Hanging Punctuation and Punctuation Margin Alignment. And only QuarkXPress 8 offers the ability to apply your settings at the paragraph level, so settings don’t have to apply to an entire story. You can even include the hanging characters setting as part of a style sheet. You can build your own settings to precisely define the hang of any character you choose, including drop caps, to create the design effects that work for you.

Easily work with other design applications. Import or drag and drop an Illustrator file directly to your page. Import Photoshop files and take control of creative features such as layer transparency, blend modes, and spot color channels right on the page.

Support for more than 30 different languages for designing multi-lingual documents or repurposing a document from another part of the world.  The new global file format, hyphenation, and spelling capabilities of QuarkXPress 8 mean that you can be sure your team works together seamlessly. Open, edit, style, and output East Asian documents without worries.
