qXport is a flexible and reliable program that has been optimized for converting Word files into QuarkXPress and InDesign CS files. It can also be used for exporting to simple XML or plain text.
qXport attempts to retain the Word structures which are also available in QuarkXPress and InDesign while at the same time cleaning up the Word files.

NEW! Automated optimization: For example, bolding is automatically removed from symbol fonts.
NEW! Export to XML and plain text: qXport offers simple XML export with paragraph style sheets representing individual paragraph tags. Plain text is of interest if you want to remove all of the original formatting information.
Numbered/bulleted lists and outlines including special characters
Colored text
Tables converted to text with tabs (for XPress) or native InDesign tables (for InDesign)
Footnotes and endnotes shown at end of document
Full support of symbol character sets such as Symbol, Wingdings and Zapf Dingbats
Full support of indexes: qXport recognizes index tags in Word and prepares them for use with Index-Xtension in QuarkXPress 4.x and higher versions (or InDesign CS) [top of page]
Index: Index tags for generation of indexes are recognized (standard XPress filter ignores them)
Style sheets: qXport only imports style sheets that are used in the Word document
Text fields: qXport recognizes text in text fields (many other converters do not)
Page breaks: Because page breaks result in jumping between frames, qXport ignores them
Batch processing: Any number of Word files can be converted in one go
Tables: qXport recognizes and converts native tables (for InDesign CS) or converts columns into tabs (for QuarkXPress – unfortunately, XPress does not recognize table tags)
Consistency: qXport generates consistent, high-quality output with any of the supported Quark versions, Word versions or operating systems
Support: Contact support@bitmix.de for assistance if a conversion does not work as planned or has errors. Often we can fix the problem quickly [top of page]
