Headers & Contents XTn creates running headers and/or footers and indices in QuarkXPress.The headers and/or footers data can be marked in three different ways:• defining QuarkXPress style sheets for the page headers and at the same time dedicate those style sheets to a header or footer level (this is the most common method of marking text);• tagging the data using special markers (these markers will be automatically hidden using the Headers XTn palette so as not to affect the line endings of text and this method should be used if the headers data is a fragment of a paragraph); or• using the mouse and the Headers XTn palette (this is the most time-consuming method and not recommended for use to mark hundreds of entries).Headers XTn supports up to nine levels of running headers. On output, the levels will be updated automatically. The running headers and/or footers data can be formatted in many different ways, such as: make capitals, make lower case, and make small caps, just to name a few. Invisible text can be hidden within body text and used to generate running headers and/or footers.Headers XTn can abbreviate running headers in order to produce a common syntax where only the first three or four characters of an entry are included in the header. Headers XTn supports the most common output styles such as the first or the last entry of a column, but also it repeats the previous entry of the last page if there is no new entry of the first line of the actual page. Additionally, the header and/or footer information can come from the left and right of a spread rather than from a single page.Contents XTn supports up to nine levels within a table of contents. On output, the levels are indented in order to produce a structured table of contents automatically.Contents XTn is perfectly suited to generate complete subject indices. Index entries can be marked by selecting the entry and then clicking the Contents XTn palette or generated using markers. Contents XTn supports up to nine levels of entries so complex indices can be generated automatically.Contents XTn supports visible and invisible entries. If words are to be spelled differently in the index or are not part of the actual text, but must be included in the index, hide these words in the text flow and Contents XTn will export the text to index data. Contents XTn can automatically sort an index on output while sorting using different international alphabet criteria.Manufacturer: ESS, GmbH

Prompt QuarkXPress to swap high-resolution for low-resolution graphics, even without OPI.HiResCollector XT is easy to use. Just choose two folders in the XTensions module’s preferences, one for the high-resolution images and the other for the low-resolution images. Then generate an EPS or collect for output, and HiResCollector XT prompts the user for permission to substitute the corresponding high-resolution image for each image the document has in the low-resolution folder. A floating palette enables the user to switch folders while working and check which folder is currently specified.As an added bonus, HiResCollector XT expands the get picture and picture usage dialogs to display the end of long, cryptic OPI file names. HiResCollector XT is totally integrated with QuarkXPress.Manufacturer: Automatic Software
HNJ Engine is a multifaceted technology for composing files and building pages in QuarkXPress. It runs in local or server mode, and is used to produce newspapers, magazines, catalogs, and business forms. It handles text and images, and can build pages in either single file or batch mode. It is available as a separate product for end users or as license technology with its own API for OEM developers.For newspaper and magazine production, HNJ Engine has been tightly integrated with Microsoft Word allowing editors to copy fit in confidence knowing that the HNJ results seen in Microsoft Word are precisely those that would have been produced in QuarkXPress. Useful features include copy-fit feedback, head fit, story previews, notes, and an extensive tagging language.HNJ Engine is ideal for catalog production. Tagged-database elements are linked to specific geometries in QuarkXPress templates, and HNJ Engine's batch-import facility allows pages to be populated dynamically.Recent applications of HNJ Engine have focused on the internet. HNJ Engine can be integrated with a web server and accessed using TCP/IP. It can be used to take snapshots of QuarkXPress pages and turn them into images that can be displayed in a web browser, and, in order to provide increased flexibility, there is a technique for users to interact with the actual QuarkXPress pages.In this mode, the user may click in a live area of the image displayed in the web browser, which causes an editing window to appear. Users may type text and enter typographical tags. When the image is composed, the edits are transmitted to the web server, where the appropriate QuarkXPress document is located and opened by HNJ Engine. The changes are made in QuarkXPress, and an updated image is returned to the user.Manufacturer: North Atlantic Publishing Systems

ID2Q7 offers QuarkXPress users a quick and easy way to convert InDesign files (v1.5 through v4.X) into QuarkXPress v6.X or v7 documents with a single click. All elements of the InDesign document, including object positions, colors, text, text attributes, images, and so on, are converted with a single click. ID2Q7 also converts between cross-platform files, converting Windows InDesign files to Mac QuarkXPress. File conversion is performed to the best standard achievable by current technology but will not be entirely accurate. Use of this product is likely to require some manual processing to achieve the desired result. The manufacturers of desktop-publishing applications have their own unique methods of text rendering, therefore, text flow will not be completely accurate. Depending on the use of custom kerning, tracking, leading, and other settings, more or less rework may be required — some rework will always be required. Supported Applications:Supports Mac QuarkXPress v6.X on Intel and earlier Mac systemsSupports Mac QuarkXPress v7 on non-Intel Mac Systems onlyConverts Mac InDesign v1.X to v4.0, Mac or Windows originInDesign documents converted to QuarkXPress are now able to have text runaround on all sides of the object. An ID2Q preference has been added to the QuarkXPress preferences menu. This menu gives the user the ability to select the language display of the ID2Q. This preference also enables the user to synchronize the language displayed on ID2Q with the language of the operating system.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: Markzware Software
The reason some designers shy away from using templates is they assume all templates are finished designs: boilerplate layouts complete with photographs of people shaking hands — add a phone number and address and send it to the printer. They are a feeble attempt to remove the designers from the equation. They miss the point that clients NEED what we bring to the table — they want something UNIQUE! Imagine going to all the trouble and expense of writing, producing, and printing a brochure and finding out a competitor is using the exact same boilerplate design.The Ideabook templates are something else entirely. They offer a detailed framework for finishing, not a rigid layout. As a designer, the author is sensitive to other designers’ needs and has created a templates keeping it clean and simple — the ideal form for another designer to pick up and run with.The InDesign, QuarkXPress, and PageMaker Ideabooks get designers back to making money and free them to spend more time doing the important tasks. Instead of spending 15 minutes to create a simple layout, spend 15 seconds. For the complex jobs such as books, newsletters, catalogs, and reports, Ideabook will save hours.All the information elements are in position: placeholders for text and graphics (a great reminder of what to include); page sizes, folds, margins, columns, gutters, and guides are set; styles palettes are configured, ready for text. Use a template as is or as a framework for a new design. The Ideabook helps produce good-looking, marketing materials, better and faster than ever before. For beginning users of InDesign, QuarkXPress, or PageMaker, the Ideabooks will help you get started with projects you don’t feel confident in creating from scratch.Two years in the making, the Ideabook represents literally thousands of hours of layout, design, and information planning that a designer need not repeat. The InDesign, QuarkXPress, and PageMaker Ideabooks each include:315 Templates on a hybrid (Mac and Windows) CD-ROM: 725 actual document pages and 25 years of calendar designs (three variations — an additional 792 pages). Chapters 1 and 2 include the basics of project production, specifics such as choosing styles of clip art, and lots of tips on topics such as working with illustrators and photographers, choosing paper, working with commercial printers, and so on.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: Logic Arts Corporation
It has never been so effortless to add new colors to QuarkXPress' color list. Eyedropper a color right out of any graphic appearing on screen or choose one of 9500 colors that appear in the color-display bar. This bar automatically appears when using the iDropper tool, showing the color in three shades and providing an instant color picker for easy color addition.Features include:• select color from any graphic in any application visible on the desktop;• add any color as RGB or CMYK;• automatically create darker tints (lighter shades are handled by QuarkXPress already);• convenient names are automatically created but can be easily overridden;• invert button to create complimentary colors; and• algorithmic border shows the current color in shades.A color-display bar appears at the top of the screen when the iDropper tool is active. Once a color is clicked, the iDropper dialog appears and allows the user to edit the color before adding it to the list.Manufacturer: GLUON
The Image Aligner XTensions module aligns any two pictures in a QuarkXPress document. This tool is useful for aligning drop shadows or outlines to existing images. In addition to aligning the frames of the picture boxes, the XTensions module will also perfectly align the coordinates of the images inside the boxes. There is also an option to automatically group the aligned picture boxes, or to swap the ordering of the selected boxes in the chain (similar to bring to front and send to back, but limited to the currently selected group of boxes).Manufacturer: Meadows Information Systems, LLC
Never flatten a Photoshop file again! Instead, use the power of multilayer Photoshop images directly within QuarkXPress. Save time by eliminating the need to flatten an image; multiple versions of the same image can now be conveniently placed in one picture box. Layers can be turned on or off with a click of the mouse. ImagePort also includes support for Adjustment Layers.ImagePort is an XTensions module that enables the user to import native Photoshop files directly into QuarkXPress.

An XTensions module for creating indices across one or more QuarkXPress documents. IndeXTension enables the user to insert index markers throughout documents, manually or automatically. Whether single entries or in multilevel subcategories, IndeXTension puts the user in control.Smart marking recognizes titles and proper names and suggests the preferred entry style. John Smith lists under the Ss without additional keyboarding. The Wonkatania settles near the end of list next to its owner, Mr. Wonka. But control isn't sacrificed for convenience, IndeXTension is intelligent enough to know that Led Zepplin is not one of the Zepplin brothers and can steer it back to the Ls with a single click.Automatic index marking balances speed with control. Find and mark individual occurrences interactively or mark every appearance in the document. Load a list of keywords and their entries and mark them all with a single click — it's all up to the user.The ability to hide and show markers in just a part of a document speeds working with extremely long documents and allows the user to focus on the task at hand. Additional tools allow logging of all index markers and their pages, or diagnosis and removal of markers which may have been damaged when editing. New formatting options use paragraph and character style sheets to format entries. Optional capitalization, header characters, and spacing format the index each time it is generated or updated.Manufacturer: Vision’s Edge, Inc.
