QuarkXPress to Affinity Publisher Tips and Tricks

General News

Summary

Many QuarkXPress users, like retired graphic designer, Bill Kocher, are migrating their Quark layouts to something else, like Adobe InDesign or Affinity Publisher. Ron Crandall, co-founder and chief engineer for Markzware, explains: Affinity Publisher flows text differently than QuarkXPress and InDesign. Here are some factors to consider, but first I should mention that a lot of the “problems” are on the user’s side and that they need to learn and keep in mind all of the differences, if they want to convert their document to another app. Another solution is to select All text (or edit a Style Sheet), to change the Justification or Keep settings. Another possible solution is to remove the Page Breaks (especially ones at the very bottom of the text box), so that the entire Story can flow naturally.
