Example of File Conversion, Using Q2ID to
Open QuarkXPress 2018 File in InDesign CC 2018:
With the popularity of professional graphic design, the demand for InDesign content has increased dramatically. Q2ID can convert QXP files to the INDD file format, producing editable InDesign documents.
Markzware‘s Q2ID can import QuarkXPress details into InDesign, including:
• tables and page positioning
• blends, colors, images, and layers
• text attributes, runarounds, and linked text boxes
Creating an endnote
You can now create an endnote similarly to creating a footnote: Place your insertion point where you want the endnote text reference to appear. Then choose Type > Insert Endnote (or right-click and choose Insert Endnote).
By default, a new page is added at the end of the document, and an endnote frame is created where you can enter the endnote text. InDesign places your insertion point between two colored markers, where you can enter text for the endnote. Subsequent endnotes in the same frame will be placed within new pairs of markers.
The reason that consecutive endnotes are placed between markers is that, unlike footnotes, endnotes often include text that is not part of an endnote—for example, headings or chapter numbers. You should place that text outside of the markers. (Markers are not printable, and just visually indicate the area of an endnote.)
Clicking in the endnote and choosing Type > Go to Endnote Reference (or right-clicking and choosing Go to Endnote Reference from the context menu) takes you back to the referenced text.
By default, creating an endnote in another story places the endnote in the same document endnote frame. However, you can also choose to restart the numbering for each story in the same frame using a setting in the Endnote Options dialog box. Or you can set the endnotes to follow each story.
