 Not very intuitive. November 10, 2006

Quark Xpress 6 could really use a better manual. I prefer Adobe InDesign, but my job requires me sometime to work with Quark. Maybe I am just the Dummy that they write all those books for...
 Quark is good June 16, 2006

Quark 6.0 is easy to use software. The only downside is that you cannot make documents bigger than 48". But the software is worth it and it is more user friendly than Indesign.
 Garbage May 9, 2006

Let me just start by saying Quark is absolute garbage. I come from adobe and corel, and quark is by far the most obtuse, clunky, buggy, bloated, backwards piece of software I've ever used. Little things like creating bullet points and changing font sizes on the fly take you 3 clicks through aggrivating menus, wherein corel it takes one click on your toolbar. As for it being the "print" standard, I use .tiff and .pdf for all my printing, and granted I havent done a huge amount of print work, but the work I do comes out fine and prints flawlessly from a corel PDF or Photoshop. I find most functions in quark are in corel, like creating masterpages and wrap around for text, that are MUCH more intuative in corel than in quark. I guess for magazines or books would be the only real reason to have this software, as flyers, brochures, and most other text layout graphics can easily be created in photoshop. I find myself searching through the help menu to find how to do simple things, like changing fonts on the fly, etc. Even using Indesign for my page layout is breathlessly EASY. I can change fonts on the fly, create lists easily, styles work how you'd think, and so on. Evenw ith quark 7 coming, i think it's too late for them to turn around. Indesign has taken over and so has corel. Say goodbye to this POS.
Unless you NEED this software for compatibilty with a dying printer shop you do business with, I would NOT EVEN THINK about buying this bloated mess. Buy a version of 5 and buy a copy of Indesign instead.
Quark is obsolete software with bad workflow April 26, 2006

At my work we layout books, ads, brochures, etc. and WERE using Quark for everything. For years Quark had a lock on the industry. It was, and is, a stable platform for printing. As late as a few years ago all our printers and service bureaus demanded Quark. They all had custom setups that worked very well with Quark. TODAY, that is no longer true. ALL of the printers we work with now PREFER Adobe Acrobat. Since Quark has always been a royal piece of trash with regard to its usability (bad user interface, clunky operations, and features that are designed like we are still in the early 1990's), the good news is there is no longer a reason to keep it. We now use a variety of software packages to produce our printed products and just convert them all to Adobe PDF. Quark is astonishingly bad with regard to the workflow conveniences people expect in modern high-end software packages. Our productivity in the design of print products has vastly improved by dropping Quark. Unless Quark RADICALLY improves its product, there is little need to use it professionally today.
Don't bother. April 18, 2006

My experience with Quark has also been a nightmare and no one at Quark ever even suggested that their software might just be the problem. I was never offered even an upgrade much less a refund. I asked for a refund and didn't get it. I guess they think $800-900 isn't a lot of money. I noticed the price has been greatly reduced since I bought mine. Good luck to everyone else who has purchased Quark and my condolences to you all.
