From Tea and Paste-Ups to Synchronized Text
As much as I like "Books" for handling big documents, I like "Project Tabs" even more. By combining "Books" with "Project Tabs," it is incredibly easy to manage long, complicated documents.
And I really enjoy the ease of use with the "synchronized text" feature. Last year, I had a brochure and flyer project for which the text would be repurposed for a catalog. If I'd had QuarkXPress 6.5 then, I would have been able to place the same text in several layouts by linking the text boxes to a single file. Then, I could have simultaneously updated all the text, in every layout, with a single mouse click. It would have saved me so much time on that project. (Not to mention the option of working on a Web version of the same catalog and synchronizing revisions to the text for both projects at the same time.)
