Applies to: QXP 9, 10 – Mac, Win



Background: We can create articles in QuarkXPress similarly like we do in QuarkCopyDesk as these 2 applications are developed on the same platform. In order to achieve this functionality, one has to copy extensions from the “For QuarkXPress” of QuarkCopyDesk and paste into the XTensions folder of QuarkXPress.



Solution

1. Navigate to the following location and copy the XTensions from “For QuarkXPress” folder:



For Win: C:\> Program Files (x86) > Quark > QuarkCopyDesk > For QuarkXPress > Xtensions.

For Mac: Mac HD > Applications > QuarkCopyDesk > For QuarkXPress > Xtensions.



2. Once the XTensions are copied, Paste them at the following location:



For Win: C:\ > Program Files (x86) > Quark > QuarkXPress 9 > Xtensions

For Mac: Mac HD > Applications > QuarkXPress 9 > Xtensions



Note: Please quit QuarkXPress and Copydesk before copying these XTensions.
