The Make Price command (Style > Type Style) enables you to format prices automatically. This command is available when text that can be formatted as a price (such as $1.49, £20.00, and a.bc) is selected or the cursor is adjacent to (and on the same line as) any of the characters. A price must contain a radix (decimal symbol), which is indicated by a period or comma. Characters before and after the radix can be only letters or numbers.

To convert characters to a price, select the characters you want to format and choose Style > Type Style > Make Price.

When you apply Make Price, QuarkXPress automatically applies the superior type style to the characters that follow the radix.

The appearance of converted fractions and prices is determined by the values and selections entered in the Fraction/Price tab of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Application > Fraction/Price).
