Markzware has released an update to its InDesign-to-QuarkXPress conversion tool, ID2Q 4. The program is designed to take the content from InDesign that users choose to convert, and re-create it in QuarkXPress. With the new version, IDQ24 will be able to convert all InDesign documents -- through the latest CS4 release -- into QuarkXPress 7/8 versions. Items that can be converted from InDesign include page positioning, color models, fonts and styles, and text attributes.

ID2Q can also convert Pantone colors, color models, blends and linked text boxes or anchored boxes into QuarkXPress. All files that are re-created can be opened up in both platforms.

ID2Q 4 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 or later, with a MSRP price of $200 and the upgrade for previous users with version two or three is priced at $100.
