Quark Inc. has released an update to its flagship desktop publishing software QuarkXPress, version 6.1. The new update, which measures 78.4MB, can be downloaded from Quark’s Web site.
QuarkXPress 6.1 now supports Apple’s Mac OS X v10.3 “Panther,” according to the company. What’s more, the new release improves integration with Microsoft Excel, lets users select pictures then open and edit them in preferred editing applications, and adds a new font mapping utility that offers QuarkXPress users the ability to create and manage rules to govern automatic font substitution.
Quark noted that the QuarkXPress 6.0 installation CD is required to install version 6.1, though you can download the update from Quark’s Web site free of charge. The update is also available on CD-ROM if you’d prefer not to download the large file.
