[Macpartners] Quark: Macpartners Digest, Vol 33, Issue 17

[Tom Pixton]

To an Quark 6.X users:

The solution to the dreaded "File not found [-51]" or "Can't find  
required volume
[-48]" problem:

1) Under User > Library > Preferences find the folder called Quark  
(which contains a single folder called QuarkXpress 6.X which has a  
number of items in it) and trash it.

2) In the same user preferences folder, locate the files called  
com.quark.QuarkXPress.~, such as com.quark.QuarkXPress.plist, and  
delete them.

Quark then seems to run OK.

> Anyone dared to upgrade to Quark 7? Should I bother? Thanks.
