'For print/publishing purposes Quark gives you the most control over documents, text styles, layout etc... you just need to know how to use it!'
Have you tried Indesign 2 at all? Quark 5 is primitive next to it. Why it's a standard in the industry I'll never know. Hopely Indesign 3 will kill quark for good.

"Hard returns" and
"Soft Returns"

not getting invloved in this qaurk debate.
Try apple shift f as everyone has said. check your not locked to baseline in style-format. also check you leading as if you locked to baseline and your leading is high and it can force it down. you should have expected cocky web answers on here. bet if you asked the same question about actionscript they would have been falling over each other to answer.
hope this helps.

soft return? Weird. We call it a fake return here.
soft does sound better.
- BiancaB0
yeah soft returns is the term I learned at art college.
That's funny fake returns...hehe

you're right there gradiate! If it's not a web orientated question... there's not much help here!

Just curious, did anyone here learn DTP from the ground up? ie, hands up who knows the formula for copyfitting, or who knows when an "em" is?

thanks for the comments, useful or not. :)
none of the items worked, so it is a mystery to me right now. I have actually used Quark since 1996, and can't work without it.
I think the problem came over into Quark when i copied the text from word and pasted it in. I can't get rid of it, but if I open a new doucment and type text, it is fine. But is I copy the text over...again with the weird spacing....something to do with the copy>paste.
Dammit, there is no way I am retyping this entire document by hand. EFF THAT!
Thanks again....searching for a needle in the Quark haystack!

I TAKE IT BACK!
apple+shift+f, options pallette fixed my problem. The space after and numbers where all effed up. I dont know why it would be like that. Again, I think the copy and paste into from word did it....thanks guys!

having hard returns and soft returns are necessary for any typesetting. but someone said above, most people here are web designers... so many wouldn't know anything about that. and if you are just letting the program set your leading as it sees fit...
ah well. nevermind.
