Tip: Quick Screen Refresh
Here’s a keyboard command to remember when your QuarkXPress layout has not refreshed properly and you are left with artifacts on your screen:
Mac: press Command-Option-. (period)
Win: press Control-Alt-. (period).
Jay Nelson is the editorial director of PlanetQuark.com, and the editor and publisher of Design Tools Monthly. He’s also the author of the QuarkXPress 8 and QuarkXPress 7 training titles at Lynda.com, as well as the training videos Quark includes in the box with QuarkXPress 7 . In addition, Jay writes regularly for Macworld and Photoshop User magazines and speaks at industry events.
You can also press F7, and the sceen will refresh quckly.
That’s right! Pressing F7 will show/hide guides, and a side effect is that will also refresh the display. Good tip!
