Tricks to Printing Multiple Pages

Learn, Tip

QuarkXPress lets you print noncontiguous pages, as well as multiple copies of some pages, and single copies of others. 

To print noncontiguous pages, type numbers like this into the Page Range field in the Print dialog box: 1, 4, 6-8, 10-12, 15. This prints pages 1, 4, 6 through 8, 10 through 12, and 15. 

To print multiple copies of some pages, type the page numbers several times like this: 1, 4, 4, 5, 7, 7, 7, 10.

To print a page in a document that starts on a page number other than 1, or in which you’ve defined multiple Sections, you need to know the page’s absolute page number — the first page in the document is always 1. 

When you want to print that page, add a Plus (+) symbol before its absolute page number when you type it into the Print dialog box. (For example, +5 prints the fifth page in the document, regardless of its assigned “page number.”)
