Effortless collaboration
In traditional linear workflows, contributors must wait for other team members to complete their work in a layout before they can work on their assignments. With QuarkXPress 7, team members can make changes to the same QuarkXPress page at the same time. QuarkXPress 7 composition zones are ideal for any fast-paced environment where people need to work on various aspects of a page or layout simultaneously.
Confidence in consistency
In addition to promoting more efficient collaboration, QuarkXPress 7 helps workgroups obtain consistent output by sharing specifications across workstations using Job Jackets. The Job Jackets feature takes a revolutionary step beyond preflighting: it helps ensure that a print job adheres to its specifications from the moment it is created, and that it continues to adhere to those specifications all the way through until it rolls off of the press.
Synchronised content
QuarkXPress also introduces new features to promote consistency and automate changes across layouts by synchronising text, pictures and item attributes, including text formatting, picture effects, colours and drop shadows. The shared content palette accepts any type of item, including picture boxes, text boxes, lines and text paths. When items are added to the shared content palette, users can specify what is synchronised: item attributes, content attributes or content only. Changes to one synchronised item will reflect in all instances of that synchronised item, including on master pages.
Accurate colour
Quark is building on work done by standards organisations such as the International Color Consortium (ICC) to promote a uniform approach to colour management, and is working to bring the benefits of colour management to designers and output specialists by simplifying key aspects of colour management. QuarkXPress 7 addresses the concerns of larger publishing groups by making colour management settings portable and easy to set up, and addresses the concerns of smaller shops by providing a well-tuned set of default colour management settings.
Flexible design
With new transparency features included in QuarkXPress 7, users can specify the opacity of the elements that make up any item or content in QuarkXPress - text, pictures, blends, boxes, frames, lines, tables and more. QuarkXPress 7 provides greater control over transparency than other applications by managing opacity levels for any colour element of an object rather than on an object-by-object basis.
A new window on your work
In QuarkXPress 7, users are able to see how detailed changes affect an entire page, layout or project by splitting the QuarkXPress window into two or more panes or opening any number of new windows for a project. To maximise workspace, users are be able to create custom palette groupings that can be expanded, collapsed and resized according to user needs. The Measurements palette has been improved with different tabs that change according to the selected item in the layout. Everyday features such as tab settings and item alignment have been redesigned so users can work faster and smarter.
Better tables
Tables have been enhanced significantly in QuarkXPress 7, with new table grouping, table rotation, auto-fit, non-anchored continued tables and header and footer rows features. It will includes handy features to select all even rows, even columns, odd rows or odd columns in a table for formatting, which lets users shade every other row in a table easily to improve readability. QuarkXPress 7 automatically resizes table cells as necessary to accommodate data from an imported Microsoft Excel table.
