QuarkXPress How-To: Add More Style to Your Pages

This tutorial is provided by Against the Clock.
Maybe you’ve been meaning to try style sheets. Or maybe you’ve ignored them because, dang it, you’re a creative designer, not a mechanic! But using style sheets doesn’t make you any less creative — in fact, it automates grunt work so you have more time for the fun stuff.

Style sheets make jobs such as this one a breeze to format.
In this how-to, you’ll not only get simple directions for applying style sheets, you can even follow along using the supplied XPress document, fonts, and pre-made styles. We guarantee that by the end of the article, you’ll be more efficient and your text will be more consistent.
We’ve posted this tutorial as a compressed folder that contains a PDF file, fonts, styles, and an XPress document. Just click the link “StyleSheets.zip” to download the folder to your machine, and then double-click it to uncompress all the items within the folder.
