Specifying the index marker color

When you add a word to an index, QuarkXPress tags it with brackets or a box; these are called index markers. Index markers are displayed in a document when the Index palette is open (View > Show Index). You can customize the color of index markers using the Index Preferences dialog box.

  1. Choose QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Index.
  2. Click the Index Marker Color button to display a color picker.
  3. Use the sliders, arrows, fields, or color wheel to specify a color for the index markers.
  4. Click OK to close the color picker; then click OK to close the Index Preferences dialog box.
Note: When you index a range of text, it is marked with brackets. When you place the Text Insertion bar in text and enter an index entry, the location is marked with a box.
