= SYMPTOMS =

When you open a Word document in QuarkXPress 3.x for the Macintosh, text displays in an unknown font, and the following message may appear

 uses fonts not installed in your System.

where  is the name of the document you opened.

= CAUSE =

This problem occurs when you open documents that were created in Word version 6.0 or 6.0.1 for the Macintosh but were saved in Word 5.x format. Because QuarkXPress can recognize and open Word 5.x files, it’s logical to assume that you could convert a Word 6.0 document to Quark by saving it in the Word 5.x format. However, this method does not work correctly.

= WORKAROUND =

Save the file in Word 4.0 for the Macintosh format. While this method will not preserve the font formats, an unknown font will not be applied to the text of the document. The text will be displayed in the font selected in QuarkXPress’s Font list on the Style menu.

To save a document in Word 4.0 format from Word 6.0 or 6.0.1 for the Macintosh:


 * 1) On the File menu, click Save As.
 * 2) Change the name of the document, if desired.
 * 3) In the Save File As Type list, click Word 4.0 for the Macintosh.
 * 4) Click Save.
