Quark Announces Free Download of Quark XPert Tools Pro XTensions for QuarkXPress 7

Quark Inc. announced today that Quark XPert Tools Pro for QuarkXPress® 7 will be posted on the Quark Web site the week of April 2 as a free download for all QuarkXPress 7 users.
“This suite of tools directly answers customers’ needs and enables simply better design,” said Terry Welty, Quark senior vice president of Corporate Marketing. “There’s tremendous value in these XTensions, especially when they’re combined with the powerful features in QuarkXPress 7. Making them available at no charge is our way of saying thanks to QuarkXPress 7 customers.”
Many designers rely on these powerful XTensions modules (formerly known as Quark ALAP XPert Tools Pro) in their workflows. Making them compatible with QuarkXPress 7 greatly expands the possibilities of what designers can do. Specifically, designers will be able to achieve their visions with greater consistency through better scaling, improved guides, and powerful text-linking.
Quark XPert Tools Pro will help designers excel through the use of features such as XPert FindChange that allows them to transform not just text but entire documents in seconds. XPert ItemStyles will enable them to quickly create attractive pages while keeping design consistent, and the XPert Pilot feature will let them go beyond tiny thumbnails to see large, graphically rich overviews of their projects.
Other popular XTensions in Quark XPert Tools Pro designers will look forward to include:

  • XPert Guides: Create and edit on-screen guides with precise control
  • XPert Scale: Scale multiple objects and their contents in a layout quickly and easily
  • XPert BoxTools: Ease the process of adjusting the size and placement of items, text, and graphics
