Editing a composition layout: Content
When you edit a composition layout, you can change content and adjust layout-level attributes.
To edit the contents of a composition layout:
- For an external composition layout file, choose File > Open.
- For a composition layout within your QuarkXPress project, click the layout name in the layout tab at the bottom of the project window (available if Show Tab in Project Window is checked). If the composition layout name does not display in the layout tab, select the Item tool
and double-click the Compositions Zones item. - When the composition layout displays, all the composition layout contents are available for editing. You can use menu and palette commands to alter text, graphics, and items, and you can use tools to add content.
- Choose File > Save for the changes to be reflected in the original host layout (and in any other layouts in which the external composition layout has been linked and placed). If you’re editing a single-project composition layout, simply closing the window updates the content in the Composition Zones item.
