Editing text

To enter and import text into active text boxes, use the Text Content tool QuarkXpress tool text content Editing text. Characters are entered at the text insertion point, indicated by the blinking line. A story is all of the text in a text box. If a series of boxes is linked, all of the text in all of the boxes is a single story.

You can select text using multiple mouse clicks. A double-click selects the word containing the text insertion point; a triple-click selects the line containing the text insertion point; four clicks selects the entire paragraph containing the text insertion point; five clicks selects the entire story.

When you double-click to select a word and cut or copy it, the application looks at the context of the word and adds or deletes a space automatically as needed when you paste the word in its new location. This feature is referred to as Smart Space. If you want an accompanying punctuation mark included with the word you’re selecting, double-click between the word and its adjacent punctuation.
