What are QuarkLibraries?

A library is a QuarkXPress file that can store individual items (text boxes, picture boxes, and lines) and groups of items. A QuarkLibrary is a library that contains a special collection of Encapsulated PostScript clip art. When you are running QuarkXPress for Power Macintosh, an open library is initially displayed as a small window (called a palette) on the right side of your screen.

Each QuarkLibrary folder contains a QuarkXPress library file and a number of EPS printing files. Items placed in a library are called entries. Each library entry has been given a label, a name for identifying the picture. You can use the list at the top of the library window to select and view individual pictures. You can drag-copy entries out of libraries into document windows and vice versa. You can drag-copy entries between open libraries. You can also cut, copy, and paste library entries. 

Each entry contained in a QuarkLibrary consists of a low-resolution picture preview for screen display (contained in the QuarkXPress library file) and a high-resolution EPS file for printing.

For additional information about libraries, pictures, and printing, please refer to the QuarkXPress documentation.
