THE NON-DESIGNER'S TYPE BOOK

Adobe PageMaker ■ Mac

These are the shortcuts you can use in Adobe PageMaker, in addition to setting all of
the special characters shown on the previous two pages.

IMon-breaking spaces

These spaces of varying width do not break; that is, the computer does not see them as word spaces
at the end of a line, so if a non-breaking space is between two words, those two words will never separate.
Also use these spaces to make quick indents, consistent spacing in a line of items, etc.

em space (width of point size] Command Shift M

en space (half of an em space) Command Shift N

thin space (quarter of an em space) Command Shift T

non-breaking regular space Option Spacebar

Special hyphens

Type the discretionary hyphen between syllables in a word when you want to hyphenate a word at the end of a
line, but you want the hyphen to disappear if the text gets edited. You can also type this invisible character at
the beginning of a word, and that word will never hyphenate.

- (discretionary hyphen) (v6.5) Command Shift Hyphen (vB or v5) Command Hyphen

Type the non-word-breaking hyphen between hyphenated words so those words will never separate, even at
the end of a line. It will look just like a regular hyphen. You might want to use it in phone numbers.

- (non-word-breaking hyphen) Command Option Hyphen

Kerning

Position insertion point between two characters, or select a range of characters. Then:

amount

.001 (thousands of an em)

.01 (hundredths of an em)
.04 (quarter of an em)
Remove all kerning

delete space

type in negative amount
in the control palette (-.003)
Command Delete
Option Delete

add space

type in positive amount
in the control palette (.004)
Command Shift Delete
Option Shift Delete

Select the text, then press Command Option К

Baseline shift

The baseline shift amount in the control palette (shown below) is determined by the amount you set in the
General Preferences (shown farther below). Hold down the Shift key (in version 6, use the Option key) to
nudge by ten times the amount set in Preferences. That is, if your nudge amount is set at 1 point, Shift-
nudge would move items in 10-point increments.

Before you baseline shift, be sure to first select the characters you want to move.

APPENDIX C: FONT UTILITIES

QuarkXPress ■ Mac

These are the shortcuts you can use in QuarkXPress on the Macintosh, in addition to
setting all of the special characters shown on pages 220-221.

IMon-breaking spaces

These spaces do not break; that is, the computer does not see them as word spaces at the end of a line,
so if a non-breaking space is between two words, those two words will never separate.

en space (half of an em space! Command Option Spacebar
to make an en space that does break, use Option Spacebar

non-breaking regular space Command 5 (from the keyboard, not the numeric keypad)

Discretionary hyphens

Type the discretionary hyphen between syllables in a word when you want to hyphenate a word at the end of a
line, but you want the hyphen to disappear if the text gets edited. You can also type this invisible character at
the beginning of a word, and that word will never hyphenate.

- (discretionary hyphen) Command Hyphen

Type the non-word-breaking hyphen between hyphenated words so those words will never separate, even at
the end of a line. It will look just like a regular hyphen. You might want to use it in phone numbers.

Kerning

Position insertion point between two characters, or select a range of characters. If you select a range of
characters, then the command "Kern" turns into "Track." It's doing the same thing.
