There are some differences in keyboard shortcuts between version 5 and earlier versions of QuarkXPress, on both the Mac and Windows platforms. Unlike versions prior to 5, the Macintosh Control key in version 5 activates a context-sensitive menu and Zoom requires Control+Shift+click. Change this in the Preferences dialog box to make the Zoom options act like earlier versions of QuarkXPress.
Try all of these options for viewing your document:
- Select the Zoom tool (magnifying glass) in the Tools palette then click anywhere in your publication to zoom in at preset increments. Hold down the Opt (Mac) or Alt (Win) keys to Zoom out when the Zoom tool is selected. Change the preset increments using the Tool Preferences dialog. When in zoom in mode, your mouse pointer becomes a magnifying glass with a plus sign. In zoom out mode, the magnifying glass has a minus sign.
- To Zoom In or Out without selecting the Zoom tool, from the View menu select Fit in Window, 50%, 75%, Actual Size, 200%, or Thumbnails.
- Zoom in or Out at preset increments using these keystrokes:
| Zoom | Mac | Windows |
Zoom In
(zooms to the next higher preset magnification setting) | 4.0: Control+click
5.0: Control+Shift and Click | 4.0: Shift+right click
5.0: Ctrl+Spacebar+click |
Zoom Out
(zooms to the next smaller preset magnification setting) | 4.0 & 5.0: Control+Option+click | 4.0: Ctrl+Shift+right click
5.0: Ctrl+Alt+Spacebar+click |
| + means "and" that is, Ctrl+Spacebar means hold down the Control and Spacebar keys simultaneously. |
- Use one of these keyboard shortcuts to zoom to Fit in Window, Actual Size, or to view Thumbnails:
| Zoom | Mac | Windows |
| Fit in Window | Cmd+0(zero) | Ctrl+0(zero) |
| Actual Size | Cmd+1 | Ctrl+1 |
| Thumbnails | Shift+F6 | Shift+F6 |
- Version 5: Quickly change to certain preset views using these shortcuts. Note that sometimes the same keystroke will behave differently depending on the current view:
| Zoom | Mac | Windows |
Mac: Any view to Actual Size (caps lock on)
Win: Any view to Actual Size | Option+click | Ctrl+1 |
Mac: Actual Size to Fit in Window (caps lock on)
Win: Any view to Fit in Window | Option+click | Ctrl+0(zero) |
| Any view to 200% | Cmd+Opt+click | Ctrl+Alt+click |
| 200% to Actual Size | Cmd+Opt+click | Ctrl+Alt+click |
- Make Guides viewable only at specific magnifications. This is useful when using guides for precise placement of elements. They are only visible when zoomed in but disappear when zooming out. Hold the Shift key when placing a guide to lock the guide to the current view percentage.
- The current magnification is shown in a percentage field in the lower left of the screen. To jump to the field and highlight the percentage, type Control-V (Mac) or Ctrl-Alt-V (Win). Type in the desired zoom percentage and press the Return/Enter key.
- For a Thumbnail view of your document, type T in the magnification percentage field, then press the Return/Enter key.
- To fit the largest spread in the Window hold the Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) key while choosing Fit in Window from the View menu or press Cmd+Opt+0(zero) (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+0(zero).
