Yes, you will need a machine that still runs Classic (speaking of which, has anybody out there tried SheepShaver?), and, yes, you will need access to working copies of all the intervening umpty million bugtastic versions of XPress. Repeat this down-saving process until you get a version 4 doc.I don’t know about versions 7 and 8, because I’ve never used them and have no interest in doing so, except insofar as they might provide me with more reasons for being an InDesign fangirl. That is, XPress 6 will save down only as far as version 5, and version 5 will only save down to version 4. As far as I know, this works only one step at a time. Find someone who has a modern copy of Quark XPress and have him or her open the file and resave it down to the lowest version possible.This is totally obvious, but just in case there are still some folks who haven’t figured it out, here’s the drill:

I used to have to jump through these kinds of hoops all the time, salvaging manuscript files that had been prepared in weird old programs on MS-DOS or whatever. Most of it, though, was because I’ve forgotten a lot of my old file-conversion juju. Part of the time-suck was because my apartment is disorganized and I couldn’t, um, find one of my laptops. I spent a ridiculous amount of time yesterday converting two files: one Quark XPress 6 document to InDesign CS4, and one WordPerfect document to MS Word 2004.
