Text is an integral part of nearly every publication. QuarkXPress lets you create and edit text directly in your publications or import text from most popular word processing applications. In addition to the standard text formatting and editing features, QuarkXPress includes such features as finding and changing text and its attributes, spell checking, custom spelling dictionaries, and a font usage utility for making project-wide changes to text formatting.

Typography is the art of making the appearance of your text convey the tone or meaning of the content. QuarkXPress lets you control the tone of your text by letting you adjust every facet of typography, including typefaces, type styles, leading, and spacing.
