The Text Grabber XTensions module to QuarkXPress provides a unique new way for the QuarkXPress operator to select and modify text. Rather than drag-selecting text the old-fashioned way, the Text Grabber tool lets you Marquee a complete page area instead. This selection method lets you choose exactly which text you wish to change, spanning multiple text boxes if necessary.

Text Grabber is incredibly easy to use. Simply select the Text Grabber tool from the QuarkXPress tool palette, and drag the marquee around any page area you wish to modify. The selected area remains marqueed for easy reference, and the operator is presented with a dialog similar to the XPress Character... dialog.

Any changes entered into the Text Grabber dialog will be applied to all text within the marqueed area, regardless of which boxes contain the text. Change any text attribute you want: font, size, color--even the track amount, scale or baseline shift. You can even load the text attributes associated with your favorite style sheet.

Limitations:
Changes made to a document cannot be saved.

Requirements:
QuarkXPress 4 or later.
