There are two different ways in QuarkXPress to view the contents of a picture box as you drag the box on the page:
Solution 1:
-
Click and hold the mouse for a couple of seconds.
-
The mouse pointer will change.
(Note, the mouse pointer will not change in QuarkXPress 8)
-
Drag the picture box to the new position, and the box contents will display as the box is dragged to its new position.
Solution 2:
If the two seconds is too long a delay period, you can change the delay value:
-
Go to QuarkXPress > Preferences (Mac), or Edit > Preferences (Windows).
-
In the Input Settings pane set the Delay Before Live Refresh Drag value to a lower number. The range allowed is 0.1 to 5 seconds.
