Convert QuarkXPress files to InDesign

Interesting…apparently, ID can only convert from Quark 4…

“Perhaps the greatest concern to QuarkXPress users who want to use Adobe® InDesign® is the large store of XPress files on our hard drives. Fortunately, you can convert most of your QuarkXPress files and templates into InDesign documents. In this tutorial, we’ll tell you what you need to know to make this feature work for you.

Note that InDesign CS 2 can open QuarkXPress 3.3 and 4.x documents and templates. It can convert documents and templates from multi-language QuarkXPress Passport 3.3 and 4.1x files. (InDesign CS can open QuarkXPress Passport files of the same versions only if they have been saved as single-language files.) QuarkXPress 5 files must be saved backward to QuarkXPress 4 format. Files from XPress 6 are an even bigger hassle: You have to save them as version 5 files, then open them in version 5 and save them down to version 4. (InDesign can also open Adobe PageMaker® 6.5 and 7.0 files as well.)
