With Markware's ID2Q, get from there to here in under five clicks; and now with full support for the latest releases, InDesign CS3/CS4 and QuarkXPress 7/8, moving from one to other couldn't be simpler.

You know the story, as many of you are living it — day in and day out. Your client presents you with their document, and it's up to you to replicate it within the application of their choice — or your choice. It sounds simple, but in reality it's generally a nightmare of tedious reformatting, and after hours of that, your next client's project arrives. Often enough to make you reconsider your choice of applications on some days, but before you hang up your mouse, take a minute to look at what might become the most important tools in your design tool chest.

Markzware ID2Q (InDesign to QuarkXPress)ID2Q (Adobe® InDesign® to QuarkXPress®) is an XTensions module for QuarkXPress that provides a swift and efficient way to transform InDesign elements into QuarkXPress elements. That's right...an entirely new document in a snap!

ID2Q is effortless to install and equally as easy to use. The return on investment is realized, in most cases, within your first use or two. Not to mention the frustration and redundant formatting it saves. Simply stated, ID2Q enables nearly painless data migration, reduce costs, and give you unprecedented liberation to use the desktop-publishing system of your choice.

Components of the content within the InDesign document are automatically re-created within QuarkXPress and include: page positioning, fonts and styles, images, and text attributes as well as tables, layers, blends, runarounds, linked text boxes and anchored boxes, and PANTONE® colors and other color models.
