Understanding QWT Issues

Issues Opening QWT Files

QuarkXPress is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open QWT Files" when trying to open your QWT. Customarily, this means that QuarkXPress is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your QWT with QuarkXPress, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When another QWT application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Wrong Version of QuarkXPress is Installed

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of QuarkXPress installed that's incompatible with your QuarkXpress Web Document Template type. Visit the Quark Software Inc. website to download (or purchase) the latest version of QuarkXPress. Your QuarkXpress Web Document Template file was probably created by a newer release of QuarkXPress than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your QWT file and clicking "Properties".

Primarily, problems experienced when opening QWT files are due to having the incorrect version of QuarkXPress installed on your computer.
