Redefine Style Sheet

Update your existing QuarkXPress style sheets in one keystroke

Update your existing QuarkXPress style sheets in one keystroke:

 

 

Style sheets are powerful. Now redefining them is a snap. With just one keystroke, Redefine Style Sheet takes the formats right from your text and redefines your style sheet to match.

  • No more digging around layers of dialogs!
  • Fast and effortless control!
  • Dramatically reduce formatting time!

Sure, you can edit a style sheet directly. But why bother? Adjust your text, hit a key, it's done.

Or, you can do the Replacement Routine shown below. It takes at least 24 seconds. Let Xpedient do it for you in a keystroke.

If you want confirmation of which settings will change, you can show a dialog box like the one below. Or turn it off for absolutely instant results. Sometimes we use it just to see what the pesky plus (+) in the style sheet palette represents.
