Importing Text
1. Draw a tall text box that extends from the left margin to the right margin of the page. Use the Item tool to move the text box to the desired position.
2. With the insertion point blinking in the text box (switch to the Content tool), choose Get text from the File menu. The Get Text dialog box appears.
3. Use the dialog box to find the file with the text you wish to use.
4. Click OK to import the text

Linking Text Box
The text you have imported is too much to fit the title text box you’ve made. You can always tell when there’s more text than can fit in a box by the red x mark box at the lower right corner of the text box.
1. Draw a second text box.
2. Choose the link tool from Tool palette (the one at the bottom of the palette that looks like a chain). Click and select the first box on the page (the wide one at the top) with the Link tool. The outside edge of the box begins to have running ants, to tell you that it’s selected.
3. Then click on the empty text box. An arrow flashes momentarily between the two boxes, and the continuation of the text appears in the second box.

Importing Graphics
In QuarkXpress once you have created a picture box, you are able to bring a graphic into it. The graphic can be from Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, Adobe Photoshop, and others. The graphic should be in EPS or Tif format.
1. With the picture box selected, choose > file > get picture, a dialog box appears, find your picture and click open to import your image.
2. If your picture box is small or big you can adjust it by dragging out the sides of the picture box until the box is big or small enough for the graphic.
3. You can position your graphics in the middle of the box by using shift-M or control-shift-M.
