QuarkXPress

Overview: QuarkXPress™ is the industry standard page layout program. There are many features you can take advantage of in Quark™ to speed up and improve the quality of your work. This is especially true if you make a repeating type of document like a monthly catalog, magazine, or newsletter.

Even if the task you are doing is a one-time project such as a book or booklet, technical document, product manual or price list you still can take advantage of master pages, style sheets and libraries to give your documents a consistent and professional appearance.
