Message: "This XTension is not compatibel with this version of XPress."
-
Possible causes:
The version of a XTension does not match the QXP version (for example, a QXP 6 XTension does not run with QXP 7).
Solution: Check the version number an load the correct version of the XTension.
Is the current processor type supported? A PPC-Version does not run on INTEL.
Solution: Switch QXP to Rosetta mode and start QuarkXPress again. If the XTension still does not load, contact the distributor or producer.
-
What does XTension mean?
-
XTensions are add-on applications, which, once started, can expand the functionality of QuarkXPress with several features.
-
How do I activate/deactivate XTensions?
-
The Xtension, which has to be installed, will be pasted by drag & drop in the folder "XTensions" within the QuarkXPress application folder or, when an installer is included, you have to start this and install the XTension and additional files into matching folders.
To deactivate unnecessary XTensions they can simply be dropped into the folder "XTensions Disabled". QuarkXPress has to be restarted, whenever changes are made on the XTension's folder.
-
Where do I find the XTensions already loaded on my volume?
-
Start QuarkXPress, then choose Utilities->XTensionManager. Here you see all XTensions loaded.
-
How do I find the version number of my installed XTension?
-
Mac OS
- Highlight the symbol of the XTension software in the Finder.
- Push Cmd+I (information)or choose the "Information" menu under "File"
Windows
- Click with the right mouse button on the symbol of the XTension and choose "Attributes" from the contextual menu.

-
Why does the installation of XTensions switch QuarkXPress into "demo mode"?
-
Demo versions from XTensions may cause the complete switch of QuarkXPress application to demo mode, as soon as they are loaded. QuarkXPress does not allow saving documents or creating a library and printing is possible only in a restricted mode. When QuarkXPress is started with XTensions in demo mode you get a warning message.
We advice you to load only one or few XTensions in demo mode. Try out the new functions to get to know if you want to buy a full version of the XTension. If you find a conflict between the demo XTensions, ask the producer, if full versions also cause such conflicts.
Please consider not to open necessary documents whil working in demo mode! Documents that can be saved in the QuarkXPress demo mode, can not be opened with the full version of QXP.

Message: “[102] This document cannot be opened, because the pasteboard XTension is not available”
-
If you attempt to open a QuarkXPress™ document and the following alert message displays: “[102] This document can't be opened because the "Pasteboard" QuarkXTensions is not present”, third-party software is required to resolve the problem.
The Pasteboard XTensions module is third-party XTensions software created by the software development company Markzware. Its purpose is to expand the vertical size of the QuarkXPress pasteboard, allowing more space around the top and bottom of each document page.
Unfortunately, the first version of the XTensions software had a problem: when a document was opened while the Pasteboard XT was running, the Pasteboard XTensions module “attached” itself to that document, so the Pasteboard XT had to be running whenever the document was opened again.
This creates a particular problem in cross-platform environments, because the Pasteboard XTensions module is only available for the Mac OS version of QuarkXPress.
Solutions
With the XTension KillPasteBoard you can open the document without loading Pasteboard XT. When saving the document the Pasteboard information will be removed. KillPasteBoard XTension is freeware.
