Introducing
QuarkXPress
Q
uarkXPress 6 is a powerful and complex program, and
whether you’re new to the subject or an old hand, it’s
best to begin at the beginning. This chapter details the wide
range of uses QuarkXPress is being put to around the globe,
points out the ways in which QuarkXPress can be of use
to you, illuminates the key new features of version 6, and
describes the basic metaphor on which the program is based.
There’s also a comprehensive list of the terms — clearly and
concisely defined — that we use throughout the book. So
whether you’re an expert or novice, please read on and pre-
pare yourself for a great adventure.
Looking at What QuarkXPress
Can Do
QuarkXPress is used by a long and impressive list of people.
Nearly three-quarters of all American magazines — including
Rolling Stone, Folio:, Wired, US, Macworld, and Reader’s Digest 
are produced with QuarkXPress, as are many newspapers
around the world. It’s also the best-selling page layout pro-
gram among professional design firms. QuarkXPress is the
leading publishing program in Europe, and the international
version of QuarkXPress — QuarkXPress Passport — supports
most Western and Eastern European languages. There’s also
a version for East Asian languages — Japanese, Chinese, and
Korean.
This edition of the QuarkXPress 6 Bible includes many
new layout and production tips culled from experienced
QuarkXPress designers, including about a dozen extended
expert techniques where designers share their production
secrets.
