QuarkXPress 2024 User Guide

QuarkXPress Document Converter (Windows only)

QuarkXPress 2022 and later versions can open documents created in QuarkXPress 7 and later. Any web or interactive layouts within such documents will be removed during the opening because these layout types are not supported by QuarkXPress 10 and later versions. 

To open documents created in QuarkXPress 6 or earlier, Windows users must use the QuarkXPress Document converter.

The QuarkXPress document converter only converts legacy QuarkXPress 3.x- 6.x documents to QuarkXPress 9.1 but does not upgrade its text flow version. When a user opens such a converted document in QuarkXPress 2022 and later versions, then the text flow version will get upgraded and it will become equal to the document version. Hence, the text will reflow. The same behavior occurs if the user updates the text flow version of a legacy version document in QuarkXPress 9.x, (by opening the document by pressing Alt key) and then saves it.
