Smart quotes are opening and closing quotation marks that are curly; the opening
quotation marks are different from the closing marks. When you don’t use smart
quotes, the marks are straight and the opening and closing marks don’t differ.

Using Advanced Typography Features
Some fonts, such as Zapfino and Hoefler, have advanced typography features that
let you create different effects. If you are using a font in a text box that has different
typography effects available, you can change many of the effects in the Font submenu
of the Format menu. For example, you may be able to adjust the following:
 Tracking: Place characters closer together or farther apart.
 Ligature: Use or leave out stylish flourishes between letters or at the end or
beginning of lines that combine two or more text characters into one glyph.
Ligature not used
Ligature used
In the Ligature submenu, choose Use Default to use ligature settings specified in the
Typography window for the font you’re using. Choose Use None to turn off ligatures
for selected text, or choose Use All to turn on additional ligatures for the selected
text.
Advanced typography features are available in the Typography window.
To open the Typography window:
1 Click Fonts in the toolbar.
2 In the Fonts window, choose Typography from the Action pop-up menu (in the lower-
left corner).
Setting Text Alignment, Spacing, and Color
The primary tools for adjusting text attributes are the format bar and the Text
inspector. You can make some horizontal alignment adjustments (such as centering
text or aligning it on the left) by using the Format menu.
