Each of the Grabber tools has a preferences setting which can be accessed by double-clicking on the desired tool. The Copy Grabber preferences are described below:
Copy Grabber Preferences
 
General Preferences
Show Startup Icon: When this item is checked, the scrolling Copy Grabber startup icon will be displayed when QuarkXPress is launched.
Fast Scan Mode: When Fast Scan Mode is enabled, Copy Grabber uses a different search method to determine the location of text within the marquee area. This Fast Scanning method can be up to 3 times faster than the standard scanning method.
The trade-off is that, under rare circumstances (such as a heavily kerned, overlapping character pair which falls exactly at the edge of the marquee area), the Fast Scanning method may be slightly less accurate in determining character positions than the standard method. It is best to first try Copy Grabber with the Fast Scan option enabled. If you have any problems, simply uncheck the Fast Scan option to use the standard scanning method.
Enable Hot Keys: This option enables the Copy Grabber Undo/Redo hot key (Cmd-Option-Z) as well as the Copy Grabber Paste hot key (Cmd-Option-V). Should this hot key sequence present any conflict (perhaps with another XTension), simply uncheck this option and the hot keys will be disabled. Note that you will still be able to access the Undo/Redo or the Paste feature by using the Grabber™ menu available under Quark’s Edit menu.
Special Preferences
Paste Blank Lines: When Copy Grabber is used to Cut or Copy text, any blank lines which fall into the marquee area are also copied to the clipboard. When you perform a paste, this option lets you decide how the blank lines will be handled. If the option is enabled, then the blank lines will be pasted as well. If the option is disabled, all blank lines will be “compressed”, and will not be pasted by Copy Grabber.
Include Attributes: When text is Cut or Copied using Copy Grabber, the text attributes associated with that text are also stored. If this option is enabled, when the contents of the Copy Grabber clipboard are pasted, the text attributes will be pasted as well.
If this option is disabled, when the contents of the Copy Grabber clipboard are pasted, the text attributes will be ignored. Consequently, the inserted text will pick up the text attributes which are in effect at the insertion point of each line.
Smart Tabs‚Ñ¢: This checkbox is used to enable or disable the Smart Tabs feature.
Auto EOL: The Auto EOL (End-Of-Line) option allows you to specify the character that Copy Grabber will insert at the end of a line when a paste operation causes new lines of text to be created. This can occur, for example, when a column of text has been copied, and then pasted into an empty text box, or pasted into a column that had fewer rows than the column that was originally copied.
