Access special characters from the Utilities menu

special_characters.jpgWith its easy access to special characters and codes, QuarkXPress® 7 makes perfecting your typography simple. New interface improvements in QuarkXPress 7 let you insert special characters without looking up keyboard commands or resorting to third-party software. Plus, you can display the full range of invisible characters, including discretionary hyphens, em spaces, and nonbreaking spaces. In addition, invisible characters scale appropriately according to the point size and view percentage you select. As a result, the dot that displays for a space looks different at 10 points than it does at 60 points — and it looks different at 100% than it does at 500%. To insert a special character, choose Utilities>Insert Character and then choose the special character to insert on your page. To view the new symbols for invisible characters, choose View>Invisibles.
