Navigating Documents
QuarkXPress provides several ways to navigate through a document: Page menu commands, the Page Number field, Document Layout palette icons,
Go-to-Page icons, and scroll bars. After experimenting with the various options, you will find a method that works best for you.
Using Page menu commands
The Page menu commands let you “turn” the pages of a document, jump to specific pages, and display master pages.
• To turn the pages of a document, choose Previous, First, Next, or Last from the Page menu.
• To display a specific document page, choose Page
& Go to (
CTRL + J ).
Enter the number of the page you want to display in the Go to Page field and click OK.
R If your document is divided into sections, precede the page number you enter with the prefix characters you specified for the section in the Prefix field of the Section dialog box (Page
& Section). You can also specify absolute page numbers in the Go to Page dialog box. An absolute page number indicates the page’s actual position in a document, regardless of any sectioning or special numbering.
To specify an absolute page number, precede the number you enter in the Go to Page dialog box with a plus (+) sign.
• To display a master page, choose Page
& Display. From the Display submenu, choose the master page you want to display. To display a document page when a master page is currently displayed, choose
Document from the Display submenu.
