The entire prepress process is covered. Quark allows precise control of kerning, tracking, leading, and allows users to create paragraph styles that can be applied to documents quickly and easily. The program allows master pages for static elements and offers page numbering, hyphenation rules, formatting characters, and a host of other choices. I already mentioned the middle menu, the style sheets menu. The colors menu lets users apply any number of predefined or custom created colors to the various elements on the page.
Quark can import most common graphic formats.
It offers text runarounds, all sorts of frames, and the ability to merge images in several interesting ways. Text boxes can be linked on multiple pages, and Quark can even create books and index the chapters. Visit your local printer or publisher, and you'll find this product installed and in use around the clock. Although Quark has many happy users, there is always room for improvement. Three common user requests for enhancements to the product include adding tables, adding the ability to export HTML, and enhancing Quark's layering.
