QuarkXPress 2016 is not your daddy’s QuarkXPress. It may not even be your QuarkXPress if you haven’t used it since version 7. QuarkXPress has evolved far past its spectacular first incarnation as the world’s greatest tool for laying out pages for print. Adobe may have infiltrated the desktops of graphic designers by giving away InDesign, but QuarkXPress is still the industry’s most efficient engine for producing documents for multiple media. It’s currently in use by more than a million customers worldwide, especially in markets that value efficiency, such as manufacturing, financial, real estate, and pharmaceuticals, as well as book publishers, magazines, newspapers, and a wide variety of retailers and smart graphic designers.

In this chapter, I give you a brief overview of some QuarkXPress fundamentals and bring you up to speed on the new features in QuarkXPress 2016 as well as the major enhancements added to recent versions. Also, I provide some real-world advice for creating, naming, and organizing your files, opening older QuarkXPress documents, and saving your QuarkXPress 2016 document so that it can be read by QuarkXPress 2015. And finally, I point you to a hidden feature that saves backup copies of your files.
