Known Issues Between Mac OS 8.5+ and QuarkXPress
Applies to |
Mac OS 8.5+; QuarkXPress |
Symptoms |
(1) When selecting a page or range of pages in the Document
Layout palette, the page icons do not highlight, even though the pages are selected.
However, if a single page is selected, the selected page will be listed at the bottom of
the palette. (2) Many QuarkXPress dialog boxes will fail to display text. |
Solutions |
(1) The keyboard shortcuts for switching between tools in the
QuarkXPress toolbar, and the keyboard shortcuts for switching between applications in the
Mac OS 8.5 Application ID (also called Program Switcher) are the same. In QuarkXPress
(ever since version 3.2), you can use Command-tab to move the current tool selection down
through the toolbox, and Command-Shift-tab to move the current tool selection up through
the toolbox. To prevent this conflict, use the Apple Help System in OS 8.5 to change the keyboard shortcuts for the Program Switcher. The Mac OS combination may also be changed by selecting Help in the Finder, then going to ’Files and programs’ and ’Switching between open programs.’ Scroll down to "Help me modify the keyboard shortcuts"; this will run an AppleScript which asks the user to select a modifier key to use and then to select the primary keystroke for the command. (2) This problem occurs if any third-party XTensions(tm) software from "a lowly apprentice production, inc." (ALAP) are installed, and can be resolved by downloading the ALAP OS 8.5 Updater (v1.0.1) from their web site. Both of these issues are cosmetic in nature, and will not cause a loss of features or damage to your documents.
