AutoCorrectXT Available for QuarkXPress 9
We’ve sung the praises of AutoCorrectXT before. (See our most recent story here).
This industrial-strength spelling fixer is now available for QuarkXPress 9. AthenaSoft’s website hasn’t yet been updated with the latest version (3.4), but the information about its features is correct. If you’ve wanted either an as-you-type spelling fixer, or a more powerful spell-checker, have a look at AutoCorrectXT.

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.
QuarkXpress 9 seems to be incapable of holding settings when exporting to pdf or ps files. It changes the document dimensions, and does not hold preset dpi. Why does this happen, have you heard this before?
As a long-time Quark user, since v.3.0 I am very disappointed and frustrated that no one, including Quark has any answers.
Karl: I haven’t had this problem. I just now did a test, and the document did keep the resolution (DPI) setting that I set for Transparency in the PDF Options dialog.
I exported the PDF, closed the document, then reopened the document in QuarkXPress 9 — the transparency settings were kept for PDF output.
Also, what do you mean about “document dimensions”? My PDFs are the correct dimensions for the documents I exported.
