Saving Documents with Multiple Languages
Saving Documents with Multiple Languages
QuarkXPress Passport lets you save documents in either single language or multiple language format. The beauty of QuarkXPress Passport is that you can save and open any QuarkXPress document in any supported language, given the operating system constraints. You can open either single language or multiple language documents. However, you cannot open a multiple language QuarkXPress Passport document in a single language version of QuarkXPress. To save a document with QuarkXPress Passport:
1 Choose File
& Save as (
CTRL
+
ALT
+
S
).
S Tips
Saving as a single language
If you save a QuarkXPress Passport document in Single Language format, Version 3.3, the document can be opened with any single language version of QuarkXPress. For example, if you save a French document in Sin-
gle Language format, Version 3.3, you can open the document with the
French QuarkXPress 3.3 or later.
Save a new document or save a copy of the active document with a new name using the Save
as dialog box (File menu).
2 Use the Save as dialog box controls to specify a location for the new document file.
3 Enter a name for the document in the File name field. QuarkXPress
Passport automatically selects the appropriate extension for Documents
(*.qxd) in the Save as type field.

S Tips
Saving in a multiple language format
Documents saved in a multiple language format can only be opened with QuarkXPress Passport.
Saving in single language format
If you change the language applied to paragraphs to save a multiple language document as a single language document, the text will hyphenate according to different rules and may reflow.
4 Choose a QuarkXPress file format version from the Version dropdown list. QuarkXPress 4.x can open documents saved in either the version 3.3x or 4.x formats. Earlier versions of QuarkXPress are unable to open documents saved in version 4.x formats. Items based on features exclusive to version 4.0 and later will be stripped from documents saved in 3.3x format
5 Choose Multiple Languages from the Format drop-down list to save a document in a multiple language format. A multiple language format means more than one paragraph language can be applied in the document.
Choose Single Language from the Format drop-down list to save a document in a single language format, which can be opened by single language versions of QuarkXPress or by QuarkXPress Passport.
6 If you choose Single Language and more than one language is applied to document paragraphs or specified in paragraph style sheets, a warning is displayed listing the two most frequently applied languages.
To change the applied languages and convert the document to a single language format, click Change Languages. A warning is displayed asking which paragraph language to apply to all paragraphs and style sheets. Choose a language from the Language drop-down list and click Save to save the document in the single language format. The language chosen from the Language drop-down list will be applied to all document paragraphs and paragraph style sheets.

7 Click Save or press the ENTER key to save the document.
R With QuarkXPress, you can open a QuarkXPress Passport document saved in a single language format. However, if the document is not opened with the same language the document was saved in, it will not hyphenate properly. For instance, if you save a QuarkXPress
Passport document in a single language French format, and open it with German QuarkXPress, the document will not have any automatic hyphenation applied, and the text could reflow.
S Tips
