QuarkXPress 5 Visual Quickstart Guide

by Elaine Weinmann, Peter Lourekas

The QuarkXPress 5 for Windows & Macintosh Visual Quickstart Guide is my most recommended book for the beginning XPress learner. Page for page it has more teaching power than any other book."

* Quark Raises the Bar
      When it comes to page-layout design, QuarkXPresss is the undisputed worldwide leader. But even leaders must adapt to change or risk obsolescence. QuarkXPress 5 proves up to the challenge, facing the new millennium with new tools and a redefined mission: Create a document once and publish it anywhere.
      But with this new power comes a new learning curve -- even for seasoned professionals.
      Whether you're a page-layout novice or an old hand looking to learn new tricks, there's no better or faster introduction to this revamped classic than this Visual QuickStart Guide. The patented Visual QuickStart format makes it easy to learn version 5's essential tools and features. Step-by-step directions and helpful screenshots walk you through each task; page tabs turn the book into an indispensable quick-reference guide for beginners and pros alike.
      QuarkXPress 5: VQS starts with a guided tour of the interface, contextual menus, and other tools, then covers everything you need to know about page layout and design, including new table and Layers features. Once you have a solid grounding in the basics, you can move on to more advanced topics, such as exporting your document as a Web page or XML, adding hyperlinks, and using version 5's expanded scripting features (including AppleScript and Color Management System XTensions).
      Get this one for the jump-start... then get David Blatner's "Real World Quark XPress" and you've got a powerhouse at your fingertips.
