InDesign v Quark: Runarounds/Text Wraps

Quark

Quark has no way to ignore runarounds on a text box. Even text boxes placed on layers or master pages will react to runarounds created by picture boxes above them.

InDesign

In the Text Frame options dialog, there is a check box to Ignore Text Wrap.

Significance

Here's an example: A large text box with a text logo was placed on a Layer. Other layers with picture boxes was created above that. The text moved in reaction to the picture boxes. If the text box with the logo in it was placed on the Master page, the same result occured. There's no way to ignore runarounds in Quark. They seem to be inherently on. In this case, since the large text was behind everything else, it's extremely important to keep the position of that text in place. Locking the text doesn't work either.
