Welcome to this Markzware instructional movie.
In this movie, I will show you how the powerful MarkzTools XTension for
Quark 6 and 7 works.
How many of you have experienced this?
You received a document, and have tried to open it,
but even Quark is working hard to open it, it crashes, leaving you with a
crash report,
if you're lucky.
With a little help from Markzware, this problem can be a thing of the past,
because with MarkzTools, you have a powerful tool that can help you convert
documents, salvage damaged documents,
and to verify documents.
Furthermore,
it enables you to extract text files from a document
and to down-save the document straight to Quark version 4.1,
but for now, we'll focus on the salvation of the damaged file we have just received.
First of all, we select the document from File menu and click Open.
Afterwards, we are prompted with some options.
These are just some of the options that can be used, but the default settings
will suffice most of the time.
You can see that MarkzTools kicks in and
starts working on the document right away,
and after just a couple of seconds, the file is salvaged and open,
showing you the document as it was before the crash.
Depending on the mode of the crash, MarkzTools will restore all information
it is capable of restoring.
And, as you can see, this document is restored to a normal Quark document that
contains all necessary elements that it contained before the document crashed.
You can now save the document like you would normally save it.
MarkzTools will verify the document for you,
so problems like this will no longer occur.
Just another great feature of MarkzTools.
We'll always advise you to save the file under another name,
and, in this case, I'll add the word "restored"
after which the document will be stored just like a normal Quark file.
People working with older versions of Quark often experience problems
not being able to open Quark 7 files that they've received.
MarkzTools is again the solution.
When you normally try to open a Quark 7 document in Quark 6, it will tell you
that this is not possible.
This can be annoying,
especially when you only have Quark 6 available on your computer.
Using MarkzTools, you can now use the Convert Document File option
and select the Quark 7 document.
MarkzTools will convert your file and will do it without any problems.
Please note that new features from Quark 7
cannot be converted to Quark 6.
Now, as you can see, MarkzTools has opened the Quark 7 document in Quark 6,
including all page layouts, elements,
fonts, styles, and everything else needed.
The document can now be edited and saved as a Quark 6 document.
Now, we're going to switch back to Quark 7 to show you another great
function of the MarkzTools XTension.
When we go to MarkzTools menu.
We can select Extract Text from Document File.
When we pick the same Quark document we used before,
the XTension will extract all text from the document.
The flattened text, without character or paragraph styles, is placed in a new
Quark document.
The document can again be edited and saved as a normal or bakken.
As you can see here, the text is fully acceptable
and can be used for copying or exporting to another document or application.
Okay. One last feature of MarkzTools that makes this
a must-have application on your computer:
We now choose Convert Document File to Version 4.1 from the menu.
This XTension will now convert the Quark 7 document straight to a Quark 4.1 file,
without using Quark 5 running under OS 9
On the desktop, we will find the document
with the .qxd extension, indicating that
it is a Quark 4 document.
This concludes our video presentation on MarkzTools XTension.
