Make Price enables you to format prices automatically. Make Price is only available when the text insertion point is between or to the immediate right of characters that can be converted into a price ($1.49, £20.00, a.bc, etc.) or when any or all of these characters are highlighted.
To convert characters to a price:
1. Highlight the characters you want to convert.
2. Choose Style ’ Type Style ’ Make Price.
 
When you apply Make Price, QuarkXPress automatically applies the superior style to the cents characters (the characters that follow the radix — a decimal in the U.S., a comma in some other countries).
The Fraction/Price Preferences (Edit ’ Preferences ’ Fraction/Price) dialog box contains two check boxes in the Price area that enable you to control the way QuarkXPress creates prices when you apply Make Price. Check Underline Cents to underline the cents characters when creating prices. Check Delete Radix to delete the radix (decimal point or comma) character when creating prices.
See the chapter, “Fraction/Price Preferences.”
