It's a common situation: You're asked to design a display ad that will appear in print at three different sizes and on the Web in two different sizes. Instead of creating five different files, wouldn't it be easier to create one master file that contains all those different orientations? That's what the multiple layout spaces option in QuarkXPress 6 is for. With it, you can keep related files together and manage their assets -- graphics, color palettes, type styles, etc. -- between them.
InQuarkXPress 6, linked document files are called a project. As might be expected, there are tricks for using this new feature effectively. In this excerpt from "Real World QuarkXPress 6," David Blatner fills you in on what makes projects and layout spaces tick.
