Quark 6.5 files (Mac) to Quark 2015 (Windows)... Possible?

[spacescape]

Have a bunch of brochures and services manuals on my G5 running Quark 6.5... Have done very little updates to these files over the last few years but my old boss is asking if it would be possible to open these files for minor updates/corrections in Windows 7? The better option is to move to InDesign with a converter but need to know how much of a headache this would be.

Not sure if they make this for the PC or not, but this converts the files to a version that 2015 can open. Again, not sure if Mac 2015 and PC 2015 files are compatible.

You are still gonna need Quark...

Can I open QXpress 6.5 files created on the mac and open up on QXpress 2015 for Windows 7 (64 Bit) painlessly?

If you already have Quark on the W7 machine, seems easy enough to transfer over a see. Q has 30 day free trail if you dont have it.

Quark has a trial... a 3 day trial... haa haa... Ok, so I pulled up my document(s) in Quark 6.5, collected for output to a new directory... Then used QuarkXPress Document converter to get my 6.5 document to open in the newest version of Quark 2015... Opened up the 6.5/converted file... and everything pulled up just fine... Yay... Well, minus it looking for a font or two.

Looks like I will need to purchase the current version of Quark... I see the are doing a buy one get one deal!!!
