I guess I can just modify it in Quark 8 and export as a pdf to get what I need. I tried exporting it as a project, or just saving it. When I try to open them using Quark 10 on my regular computer, I get the following message: "Bad file format. I AM able to open the old Quark 3 files in Quark 8 on the laptop. I figured all my troubles were over! However, I have a new issue. and discovered Quark 8 is installed on it. After posting yesterday, I remembered I have an old laptop. You can also automate the conversion of QuarkXPress (.qxp) files. Thank you all! I appreciate all of your comments.

Now, version 8.x was the second version released that was Universal. The object structure of Quark files is mostly kept, multicolumn text is split in one object per column and paragraphs are also separated in different objects in PDF.
