A number of our Quark 6.5 documents are refusing to open in Quark 9.5.1 (force quit after a hopeless, indefinite opening process)or just crashing Quark outright. They open fine in 6.5, but not in 9.5. Everything has been tried; thumbnail drag rebuild in 6.5, modifier key combinations held while opening in 9.5, turning off all extensions.Save Text…Xpress Tags…Get Text in new 9.5 document works, but there's of course no pictures.
I found an old Quark 8 trial version on a drive and installed that and was able to get at least ONE of the problem documents to open. I haven't yet tried opening v8 in v9.5 yet, but it gave me hope. Starting over from scratch is of course the inevitble reality, but I want to try everything I can before that.
Now I want to try and step it from 6.5 to 7 and then 8 to 9. But like always, trying to find outdated software on the internet is nearly impossible. Anyone know where I can get the Quark 7 demo\trial install file? Thanks!
