Quark to InDesign - from Macintosh to Windows?

[Piet_Fonteyn@adobeforums.com]

How can I open a Quark file (made on Mac) with InDesign (ON PC) ?

File>open.

Note that ID will only open single language Quark XPress version 3.x and
4.x files. Version 5 and 6 files will need to be saved back to 4.x.

Thanks, Bob, for your reply.

But I still can not open a quarkfile, initialy made on Macintosch, on my pc, using InDesign.
I do use Quark single language version 4.x

If the file was created with any third-party XTensions the person who created would have to save it without XTensions.

Also InDesign CS can open some XPress files which caused a problem in InDesign 2.

If it's a Quark file up to v4 just add the extension .qxd and try to open. It works every time for me.

Good point by Steve.

I'll go so far as to say that the conversion in CS is far superior to
2.0's. I've had files that crash 2.0 that open easily in CS.
