Setting project preferences. Part two. Continuing from part one of project preferences, let's go now to the Undo Preferences to choose your preferred keyboard shortcut for accessing Redo and type a value of 20 or less in this field to dictate how many actions will be remembered. In the Open and Save Preferences pane, you can instruct QuarkXPress 8 to automatically save your project every specified number of minutes. If you have a very large, complex project, saving often is a good idea. But having your work interrupted to save often is annoying. You might have to change this often during your production cycle to be able to strike a viable balance. Auto Backup is different than Save in that it creates a new iteration of the project using the number you define here as the threshold. Use the Browse Button to choose the location of the iterations. With this option enabled, QuarkXPress will automatically save the library when it is closed or when you quite QuarkXPress. With this option enabled, QuarkXPress 8 will remember your layout and return to that positioning the next time you open the project. From this drop-down menu, choose how QuarkXPress 8 should display non-Unicode text characters. In the Files List, you may define the number of QuarkXPress 8 projects that are remembered as recently opened. You may list these projects at the bottom of the File Menu or in the Open Recent Fly-Out Menu. You may also choose to list them alphabetically or by unchecking this box, in the order in which they were last used. With this check box you may choose to display the entire path of the files. Using Default Paths, you can save yourself quite a lot of time digging around in folders for open and save destinations and for importing text and images. Use these Browse Buttons to remember the default path. You can also choose a different path so this is just a guideline of where to look first. This setting determines if QuarkXPress 8 should automatically import a picture when it has been modified; if you want to manually import those or if you want to be notified so that you can verify the update. If you would prefer not to work with multiple layouts and want one layout per project, check this box here. You can add more layouts if you should change your mind later. If you're using open-type fonts, this check box enables you to use embedded kerning tables. This overrides any kerning that you apply through the Kerning Tables Edit Feature. With this check box, Disable or Enable the Kerning of Full-Width Characters. Greeking temporarily hides the details of text characters or pictures and represents them with gray shaded areas. QuarkXPress 8 can draw pages much faster when not bogged down by drawing detail. This is very useful if you have a complex project and are scrolling a great deal and then zooming in for fine tuning. You can use this field to set the threshold so that when text is smaller than a particular size or the page view is reduced so that the text size is scaled below this size, the text is represented by gray blocks. This box Greeks the pictures until selected. That pretty well covers the project-level preferences. Now you're ready to begin working with palettes.
