- Right-click a file with the extension whose association you want to change, and then click Open With. In the Open Withdialog box, click the program whith which you want the file to open, or click Browseto locate the program that you want. Select the Always use the selected programto open this kind of file check box.
- Please note that if you are using a file extension to classify your files, then the correct file extension for QuarkXPress 3, 4 and 5 documents is.qxd, for QuarkXPress 6 it is.qxp. Otherwise the QuarkXPress Document Converter might not recognize the file correctly.
- Same again for Quark XPress 2015. Select File/ExportLayouts as Projects, export the document as a Quark 10 project, open in Q10 and follow the steps above. The long and the short of it is that you'll be able to convert Quark files to InDesign, but the newer the Quark (QXD) file version, the more hoops you'll have to.
