Reviews

“I started on QuarkXPress 3 and have gone all the way to QuarkXPress 2025. Absolutely brilliant software for typesetting and design. At present I typeset a lot of books (novels etc) QuarkXPress is very efficient and user friendly for this, and all other forms of typesetting. I love the layout with the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Everything you need is right there, just a click away.”

QuarkXPress CopyDesk logo

QuarkXPress CopyDesk enables content components to be edited without altering an established layout. Once a page design is set, the designer designates headlines, subheads, copy blocks, photos and graphics as editable elements.
