Troubleshooting Problems Opening QXB Files

Issues Opening QXB Files

QuarkXPress Isn't There

When trying to open your QXB file, you get the error "Can't Open QXB File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have QuarkXPress for - installed. Your operating system cannot associate your QXB with QuarkXPress, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens QXB files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Obsolete Version of QuarkXPress

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a QuarkXPress Book File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest QuarkXPress version from the Quark Software Inc. website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your QuarkXPress Book File file was created by a different (newer) version of QuarkXPress than what's installed.

Tip: Right-clicking on your QXB, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Regardless, most of the QXB file opening problems relate to not having the right version of QuarkXPress installed.
