    How to Best Import QuarkXpress 8.0 Files into InDesign CS5

    BobS71 Community Member

      Folks,

       

      Searched the forum, but I'm only finding info on older versions of Quark and InDesign.

       

      I've got a ton of end user documents in QuarkXpress 8.0 that I need to import into InDesign CS5.  (These are installation and operation manuals for data and telephony modems with lots of illustrations and diagrams in them.)  I just downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS5 and could use some help.

       

      The import procedure (for the older software) looked to be quite cumbersome.  I'm hoping that InDesign CS5 is more capable and efficient at importing QuarkXpress files.  I also read about Q2ID by Markzware.  Does that product work with InDesign CS5, or is it even necessary with InDesign CS5?

       

      Any advice and guidance will be appreciated.  Got to get started soon!

       

      Thanks for your help!
