Regarding 32 Bit Windows, we have decided to go 64 bit only to not have to compromise and to carry two flavors of the same thing. And as QuarkXPress can open v9 files, you can continue to work on them. Even batch converts if you have thousands of older files. That converts older files (so pre-7) to v9. For that we released QuarkXPress Document Converter, a free download from our website. Of course you might have documents from QuarkXPress 3, 4, 5 or 6 and still want to open them. Therefore we cut the fat (with QuarkXPress 10). So to carry two completely different families of type engines is a lot of fat and could cause issues. The reason for that is that before QuarkXPress 7 QuarkXPress used an old type engine that didn't understand OpenType or Unicode. They can only open v7, v8, v9, v10 (and v11) directly. I used QuarkXPress 6.5, but the process works just as well in XPress 6.0 and.

If you have no idea about basic elements such as text and typography, color management, digital publishing, or about advanced layout construction like page elements, transparency and drop shadows, web and interactive layouts, then you definitely need to get into the QuarkXPress training program. In order to create a project, you have to provide details such as layout type, page size, orientation, margin and column guides. The main reason is that all these applications are using proprietary file formats.
