Bug

Late last night, Quark released the 8.01 updater for QuarkXPress 8, Mac and Windows. According to the documentation, these are the new features:

Enhanced spell checking:

With QuarkXPress 8.01, you can set a preference to ignore capitalization and spacing errors when spellchecking. Click the SpellCheck pane in the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences).

The following controls are new
to QuarkXPress 8.01:

  • Check Ignore capitalization for German languages to disable capitalization and spacing checks for the supported German languages. The default setting is unchecked.
  • Check Ignore capitalization for non-German languages to disable capitalization and spacing checks for all non-German languages that support spellchecking. The default setting is checked.

PANTONE Goe Uncoated:

QuarkXPress 8.01 includes the PANTONE® Goe™ uncoated color libraries.

The full lists of Resolved Issues and Known Issues were not available at the time of this writing. We’ll post another story when that information is available.
