QuarkXPress, the world's most popular page layout program, has evolved from its humble beginnings to take its place as the most powerful and robust composition tool anywhere. This introduction to the program seeks to provide a solid foundation by presenting the skills necessary to master this complex tool. Starting with the working environment, the book moves on to using type and graphics, controlling page elements, working with color, and more.
