Cloner INSTRUCTIONS
USING GLUON Cloner™
THE GLUONS MENU
When ProScale is present, Cloner’s functions are accessed through the GLUON Menu which appears on the right side of the menu bar.
Cloner Functions
Cloner is used to copy items which are selected or a defined page range to the exact same location on other pages in the same or other documents. There are many possible uses of Cloner including:
Instead of thumbnail dragging pages
As a way to copy items to the exact same location on other pages
As a way to copy items to the exact same location in other documents
As a way to create new documents with selected items or pages
Because of the many possible combinations, the Cloner dialog rearranges based on what you are doing as each method has different considerations.
THE CLONER DIALOG
The Cloner dialog box is a simple interface to allow you to select the source of material to be cloned, how many copies and the destination for the copies. As there are many combinations, it can get complicated listing each one. So we will break it into two sections: Copying Items and Copying Pages below.
Selecting a Clone Destination
Use the Document pop-up to select a destination.
The default is always the current document. The other choices are:
Quark file…which will ask you to select a file to clone into from disk.
New document which will create a new document with the same specs as the current document.
All open documents which will copy the source material to all open documents.
Split into single pages which make a new single page document for each page listed in the source pages field.
Any open file which can be chosen from the bottom of the pop-up (if there are any).
Copying Items
If something is selected at the time the dialog is called up, Cloner will display the options for replicating items as opposed to pages. If you then change to Pages, the dialog will adjust to the page copy mode.
Basically all you need to do is select the desired destination document using the Document pop-up menu, the number of copies and which pages to begin copying to. If the desired number of copies and starting page add up to more than the number of pages in the destination document, you will be prompted to insert pages automatically. If you do not wish to do so the hit Cancel.
NOTE: Be careful when duplicating into documents which are not the same size as the source document. You may not end up with the resulting items in exactly the same page location since coordinates are in spread coordinates from the edge of the pasteboard. We don’t recommend cloning to smaller documents as it might create non valid boxes, depending on where they hit.
Copying Pages
If nothing is selected at the time the dialog is called up, Cloner will display the options for replicating pages. When duplicating pages into an existing document, Cloner will insert the pages starting at the page number specified in the To page: field. If needed you can then move pages and/or delete them as needed.
The Pages field works the same way the Quark print dialog works. So if you say Pages: 1,3-5,11, it will clone page 1, page 3 through 5 and page 11. If you say “All,” it will clone all pages to the specified destination.
If “Make section(s)” is checked off, Cloner will try to use the same page numbers in the destination document as are specified in the source Pages field. If it is checked on then Cloner will clone the first page to the location specified in the “To Page’ field and put a section start to make sure it gets that page number. You can always remove the section start by going to the Section dialog from the Page Menu in XPress. You are given to mapping options:
Keep Contiguous—No matter what sequence of source pages, the destination pages will all be together in one section.
Multiple Sections–Starting at the specified “To Page” page, Cloner will then create a new section for each page/page group separated by commas in the source Page field. Sections will maintain the same offsets relative to each other that they have in the source document.
If pages are Cloned which are Master Page based, Quark will attempt to recreate the master page in the new document. If replicated boxes contain large text flows, you may have additional pages added to the document, outside the range you specified. If need be, simply delete the appended pages.
For a quick reminder of Cloner’s functions you can always hit the ? button.

Preparation
IMPORTANT: FIRST REMOVE ANY OLD VERSIONS OF THE CLONER AS THIS WILL CAUSE CONFLICTS IN QUARK!
Installation—READ THIS BEFORE USING!!!
Activate any GLUON by launching the GLUON Activator, provided. Place all GLUON XTensions in the XTension folder inside the Quark folder or in the Quark folder itself. This process must be repeated for each machine upon which you want to use GLUONS. Once you have activated a machine for one GLUON, this machine will run all GLUONS so you do not need to repeat the process when you get new GLUONS. IMPORTANT: GLUONS will not operate if the above activation procedure is not followed! Please keep the GLUON Activator in a safe place off the network as you may need it again if the System or QuarkXPress is reinstalled.
