This means copying, pasting, retyping, and rekeying information that has already been created.” (Source: https://blogs.adobe.com/documentcloud/adobe-document-cloud-research/) You can convert QuarkXPress files to InDesign, using Q2ID, without manually having to reconstruct the content.
Worth Every Penny
When I was forced to move from Quark to In Design I was panic stricken as to how I was going to find the time to rebuild files required for my ongoing clients in the new program. Luckily I found the link for Markzware & Q2ID. What a lifesaver. It installs in a snap and converts files with ease. I only need to update a few fonts & effects and then it’s good to go. This has saved me from countless hours of work & stress. Thank you!
