In QuarkXPress 11 and later you can now add pre-defined content variables to your document. When a QXP file that uses these new content variables is converted, the variable data will be skipped. At present the workaround for this is to convert the Content Variables to text in QuarkXPress before converting your file to InDesign, otherwise you will need to manually re-enter the data in InDesign.
