Hi, Tonya,
TonyaMorris:I downloaded the XPert Tools Demo. I couldn't find one that was free. Also, it doesn't recognize my version of Quark 7.3 (the icon is greyed out)
The free version only exists for QuarkXPress 7.x and can be found here:

[quote:79c23fb609]I also tried to do the global keyboard shortcut for change case, but obviously I am doing something wrong. How does Quark know what it is I want to do with the newly assigned keyboard shortcut?
What's a global keyboard shortcut? I assume you mean to assign a custom keyboard shortcut to QuarkXPress menus under MacOS X? Or did you try Global (which doesn't really work then)?
Assigning custom shortcuts to QuarkXPress under MacOS X is quite feasible and possible and just requires a few steps:
- Go to System Preferences
- Go to "Keyboard & Mouse"
- Go to section "Keyboard Shortcuts"
- Scroll down to "Application Keyboard Shortcuts"
- Hit +
- Select Application "QuarkXPress 7.3" (if it doesn't show there select it via 'Other...')
- Add the menu title you want the shortcut to trigger. This can be a bit tricky, as you need to enter it exact, so if the Menu is "Other..." try three dots and the ellipses (Option+Period)
- Add the shortcut key, make sure the OS doesn't use it.
Done.
Hope that helps
Matthias
P.S.: Yes, we are looking into offering this as a feature. First, to have Windows users benefit too, to make it easier to set up keys, and - most important of all - to also allow other functions to be triggered (above just works with menus).
