Installing QuarkConverter

Before installing QuarkConverter, please make sure you have the right version of the program for your version of Microsoft Word. QuarkConverter is available for

• Word 6 and 7 (95).

• Word 8 and above (97 and above).

The version of QuarkConverter for one of these will not run correctly in the other, even though at first it may appear to. To check your version of Microsoft Word:

1. Click the Help menu item at the top of your Word window.

2. Click “About Microsoft Word.”

You’ll see the version of Word you are running at the top of the window that appears.

If you need a different version of QuarkConverter than the one you have now, please download it at www.editorium.com before proceeding.

Once you’ve downloaded and unzipped (or unstuffed) the proper version of the program, you’ll see the QuarkConverter template, which is named QUARKCNV.DOT. (If you need software to unzip or unstuff the program, you can download it from www.winzip.com or www.aladdinsys.com.) To use the template, follow this procedure:

1. Open it in Microsoft Word by clicking File > Open, selecting the template, and clicking the Open button. Do not open the template by double-clicking it outside of Microsoft Word. If you do, the program will not be installed correctly, and you’ll run into problems later.

2. Double-click the large button that says “Double-Click here to Install.”

3. Follow the prompts on your screen.

This will install QuarkConverter as a global template or add-in. If you elected to have the program start automatically when you start Microsoft Word, the program template will be saved to your Templates and Startup folders. If you elected not to have the program start automatically, it will be saved to your Templates folder. If you have trouble installing the program template, you can simply copy it to your Templates and Startup folders by hand.

When the installation is finished, if the QuarkConverter template is still open on your screen, close it. You can now discard the installation template or save it as a backup.

If you elected to have QuarkConverter start automatically when you start Word, you’ll need to follow a simple procedure to make it available during the same Word session as the one in which you installed it:

1. Click the Tools menu. (In Word 6 or 7 [95], click File.)

2. Click Templates and Add-ins. (In Word 6 or 7 [95], click Templates.)

3. Put a check in the checkbox next to Quarkcnv.dot.

4. Click the OK button.

If you didn’t elect to have QuarkConverter start automatically when you start Word, you’ll need to activate it each time you start Word:

1. Click the Tools menu. (In Word 6 or 7 [95], click File.)

2. Click Templates and Add-ins. (In Word 6 or 7 [95], click Templates.)

3. Put a check in the checkbox next to Quarkcnv.dot.

4. Click the OK button.

Please do not rename any of the QuarkConverter macros, copy them to another template, or remove them from the QuarkConverter template. QuarkConverter uses these macros in combination and will not work properly if they have been copied to another template or renamed or if some of the macros are no longer present.

Other QuarkConverter Files

QuarkConverter comes with two other files, QUARKCNV.DOC (a Word document) and QUARKCNV.CHM (a Windows Help document), both of which contain the documentation for QuarkConverter. If you're using Microsoft Windows, QUARKCNV.CHM should go in your Windows/Help folder. If you're using a Macintosh, you can delete QUARKCNV.CHM.
