If you set—or edit—long passages of copy for magazines, marketing material, or anything longer than a paragraph, this article from Macworld Magazine’s Managing Editor Charles Purdy is worth a read.
With its concise, designer-friendly writing and detailed example screenshots, the article will define nine common typesetting mistakes and problems, and how to fix them. Though the tutorial explains the how-tos relevant to QuarkXPress tools, the software used is irrelevant; the same problems (and repairs) occur in InDesign, PageMaker, Illustrator, and other layout software.
