*F3 Interpreting RTF –QuarkXPress for Windows only
With *F3 the RTF instructions included in the text are interpreted.
If a text contains RTF instructions, *F3 must be transferred or the RTF instructions will appear
in the placed text and won´t be translated into font and style properties.
RTF format can only be imported. An export of text is possible as plain text or text with
XPressTags, but not in RTF format.
The RTF text must have been created by a programme that is supported by QuarkXPress for
Windows (for more details see the QuarkXPress manual) i.e. Word for Windows; an RTF text
that was created in Word for Macintosh may eventually be unreadable in QuarkXPress for
Windows.
Box fonts or XpressTags?
The use of box fonts is only possible if the entire box text is to be set in the same font. The box
font is an advantage if the font style is changed in QuarkXPress and the text only and not the
font style should be overwritten when updating. In all other cases you will work with
XPressTags and style sheets.
