Quark set to release free plug-ins

Quark is to make its XPert Tools Pro plug-ins for QuarkXpress 7 available as free downloads from next month.

XTensions modules available from 2 April will include: FindChange text and document transformation tool, ItemStyles for design consistency, and Pilot, which lets users view rich graphic overviews rather than just simple thumbnails.

"This suite of tools directly answers customers' needs and enables simply better design," said Quark senior vice president of corporate marketing Terry Welty.

"There's tremendous value in these XTensions making them available at no charge is our way of saying thanks to QuarkXPress 7 customers."
