How to Create a Style Sheet in QuarkXPress

Style sheets allow you to create all of the styles you want to use for your QuarkXPress 3.3 or 4.0 Macintosh document. You can create or add to your style sheet at any time while working on your document. Style sheets eliminate the need to remember the precise specifications you used in a document. Windows instructions may vary slightly.
