    The Gremlin in Quark

    It is good to see that Crtl + Alt + Shift + K still brings up the groovy delete feature in Quark. I love it! It can cheer up an other wise dull day! Maybe I get a bang out of stupid things but I get a kick out of this! Yay!

    Are you talking about the little robot who kills a picture box with a laser gun ? Last time I saw it was on a Mac with QuarkXPress 3.32 ! In which platform and version are you seeing it?

    I've heard about the guy who shoots the pitcure boxes away but have never seen him. Usually when you go Crtl + K a picture box gets deleted and it disappears instantly. When you go Crtl + Shift + Alt + K you get the picture box disappearing in stupid looking stripes along with a crazy gurggling bubbling noise on the speakers....I love to turn up the volume and have my co-workers glancing over their shoulders with that he's at it again look when I do this!

     

    I would send a print screen of the delete in progress but my Quark is out of comission at the moment because I am exporting a 200 page PDF....hence the reason that I have time to post here! Wink

    I'm using 6.5.2 on a Mac 10.4.11  and I've just tried the Cntl + Shift + Alt + Delete and it works. Little man appears!

    Do it 5 or 6 times in a row, and something else might happen...

     I'm thrilled the Alien still survives. Now if it would only handle type properly. It is afterall a page layout program, not a video game. Glad to see the engineers priorities are spot on.
