Unicode And Open Type Support For QuarkXPress 7
Quark Inc will showcase the Unicode and Open Type support that will be available in QuarkXPress 7 at Typo Technica.
QuarkXPress 7 Built On Open Standards
Quark Inc will further its commitment to collaboration and inter-operability by building the forthcoming QuarkXPress 7 software on open standards.
Users must have a license from Quark to run a previous version of QuarkXPress, which must be installed on the same computer as the QuarkXPress 7 upgrade.
Previous versions of QuarkXPress cannot be transferred to another user.
Users upgrading from versions 4 and 5 to QuarkXPress 7 can continue to run those versions of the software, although technical support is only offered on QuarkXPress 6 and later.
Matthew Wallis, Quark's senior vice president of sales and marketing EMEA and Asia Pacific, said: "Quite simply this is in response to customer feedback and is another example of how Quark has fundamentally changed its approach to doing business in the last two years.
Customers are thrilled with QuarkXPress 7 and based on user feedback this policy change will help streamline and fast-track the upgrade plans for many customers." According to the company customers planning to upgrade to QuarkXPress 7 can now do so whilst testing their workflows at a pace that meets their individual needs whilst using previous versions of the software to support production and client requirements.
The news is in addition to a list of changes at Quark during the last few years that have included free English-speaking technical support, the ability to deactivate and re-activate, or transfer a licence of QuarkXPress 7 from one computer to another without the help of technical support and the ability to install QuarkXPress at home and at work.
Quark added that other improvements have featured lower pricing overall and cheaper prices for educational users, the wide availability of QuarkXPress upgrades through authorised commercial and educational resellers and the company's partnership with Apple.
That includes QuarkXPress 7 being offered as the first universal design and publishing application on the new Intel-based Macs.
