Join your endpoints with greater distance (QuarkXPress)

You can use the Join Endpoints Merge command to merge lines and text paths. To do this, select the two items and choose Item > Merge > Join Endpoints. This option is only active when you have two text paths or lines selected. It joins them at one point provided the endpoints are close together. The attributes of the backmost line are applied to the resulting line. You can change the Join Endpoints distance to create more versatility in your designs. For two endpoints to be affected by the Join Endpoints command, the distance between them can’t exceed whatever the current Snap Distance is set to (between 1-216). It’s specified in the Preferences to access this choose QuarkXPress (Edit in Windows) > Preferences. Then, click Print Layout in the left pane and then click General. Enter your desired distance in the Snap Distance text box.
