Quark Forums

 I was recently working on a layout suddenly entire layout was shifted to far left side, i tried all fit to window and other options but nothing happen

what could be the problem and the solution

Thanks.

 Can't really help, except that this rings very faint bells. I think it turned out the document was corrupt in some way, we rebuilt it and dragged content across. What version Quark?

 Did you try to "Select all" and then manually re-enter the X and Y coordinates as 0 and 0?

 IIRC,  it's not just that the elements have moved, but the whole document displays wrong.

 Is it just this document, or all documents? If all, try trashing your preferences. If just this one, you should try creating a new document with the same dimensions, go to File>Append, select your problem document, and choose to append the layout (also include the styles, colors, and anything else that is important to your file).

 If I append all the preference from another page, will the the page that has got problems ( layout moved to left) retains the layout.

Thanks

 Don't append the preferences, trash them. Quit Quark, find the preferences file (In Mac OS it is HD>Users>Your_User_Name>Library>Preferences>Quark…for Windows, please search the forum) and move the folder to the desktop. When you start Quark again, the program will see that the preferences file is not where it is supposed to be and create new preferences in the correct location. If the problem persists, it was not because of bad preferences. At this point, you may leave the preferences as they are, or replace the new preferences folder with the old one (do this while Quark is not running). If you would like to keep the new preferences, you won't need the old ones, so you may move them to the trash.

Append is a method to transfer data from one document/project/Quarkfile to another. It is a file-to-file process, not a page-to-page process. You start by creating a new Quark projet that has the same size as the one you are having trouble with. Because you can have more than one layout inside a project, you can append (or add) a layout to an existing project by gathering it from an existing Quark project file. You do this by taking the new project file and go to File>Append and navigate to the Quark file that is giving you the problem (it should not be open). Inside the Append window, there are several types of data that you can copy from the old project file to the new one, including layouts (the actual pages of the document). While you are in the Append window, you will probably want to also copy the colors, stylesheets, lists, or anything else that you created in your old project that you don't want to have to create again.

Appending data from the old document may allow you to copy the good parts and leave behind the bugs that are causing errors, but maybe it won't help. Sometimes files are broken and can't be fixed. You may have to start over and create it again.
