Change a Project to Single Layout
If you have a Project in QuarkXPress 7 that has only one Layout, and you want to get rid of the extraneous Layout tab at the bottom of the window, you can convert the Project to Single Layout Mode.
Choose QuarkXPress> Preferences> Project> General and tick the Single Layout Mode checkbox.

…and I think this procedure is unnecessarily complex and hidden in an illogical and unintuitive location. Here’s a feature request to Quark: make this option available on a contextual menu when someone clicks on the tab at the bottom of the project window. You know: Control-click or right-click on the Layout tab and select “Single Layout Mode”.
