Below is an old publication which we needed to convert recently. So if you do have Quark, here's how to convert the file from QuarkXpress to InDesign. Q2ID will convert versions 3.3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Quark to InDesign CS4 (Windows only), CS5, CS5.5, CS6 and CC in the same way that the native InDesign plugin converts version 4. However, you'll be doing a lot less work than if you had to start from scratch. you'll always need to check and tweak your work. The one I've had (positive) experience with is Markzware Q2ID, a conversion tool which checks some of the boxes missed by the native QuarkXPress to InDesign conversion - although even Markzware point out that no conversion is perfect. If you don't have (or can't run) Quark XPress 5 (and the Quark file you need to convert is version 5 or later), the best solution is for you to invest in an InDesign conversion plugin. If you don't have a copy of Quark (and the file for conversion is version 5 or above), then Option 2 is for you: See below for an example of how to go about converting a Quark 6 file. However, if you need to convert a version 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 Quark file, you need to do some back-saving - which means that you'll need a copy of Quark 5 if the file is version 5, Quark 6 and Quark 5 if the file is version 6 and Quark 7, 6 and 5 if the file is version 7. It will natively convert version 4 files. Just open the Quark file in InDesign and you're away. If you have to convert a Quark version 4 file, you don't need Quark at all - you only need a copy of InDesign (in this case I used InDesign CS2).
