Quark Forums

I am currently in training using the Modules for Training in QuarkXPress 8, and I notice that the text files I import into Quark use the .XTG file extension. Is this a file type I can create? What program would I use to create it. Is it a program that a potential client might have access to in order to submit text files for a project in? Thank you in advance for your help.

I think these are files that are marked up with XPress tags. You can read about XPress tags in the Quark help documents. It's a very handy mark-up code that allows text documents to contain styling information that Quark understands. The easiest way to create xtg files is to choose "Save text" from within Quark, and choose XPress tags as the format to save in. It's pretty hard to create a marked-up text document from scratch--you really have to know the codes well. Then all you need is a text editor.
