Layers and text runaround
Items on layers follow the standard runaround rule in QuarkXPress: Text can only wrap around items that are in front of that text. For example, if you draw a small picture box in the center of a column of text, the text will wrap around the picture box by default.
Note: QuarkXPress also evaluates the Type setting in the Runaround tab of the Modify dialog box (Item menu) when determining whether to wrap text around items.
When you hide a layer, you can either show or hide the text runaround caused by the obstructing items on that layer. By default, text runaround forced by hidden items is maintained.
- To hide the text runaround forced by items on a hidden layer, double-click the hidden layer in the Layers palette to display the Attributes dialog box, and then uncheck Keep Runaround and click OK.
- To change this default runaround setting for new layers, uncheck Keep Runaround in the Layers pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
