Quark 6.1 test - Find/Change feature

[tanjm]

I am having problems with the find/change feature in Quark 6.1. Using a native 4.11 template I have built a new project. I was experiencing alot problems with my document getting damaged whenever I quit it and tried to reopen it. I recently narrowed it down to applying style sheets in Quark when doing a find/change in the attributes box damages my document. If I just do a regular find/change for the same thing without appling the style sheet attribute, the document is fine when saving and reopening. Can someone else test this out on a document they aren't afraid to lose (or a copy) and let me know if this is the case for you as well?

Update

I did hear back from Quark. They were able to replicate the find/change problem and it is open for development (to be fixed). This is what I was told about 6.5 opening the corrupted files:

"In both cases, the files open in QuarkXPress 6.5 with a message stating the the project needs minor repairs, and you must press the "Repair it" button to open them.

So, the good news is that QuarkXPress 6.5 will most likely be able to repair these corrupt files (albeit with some possible styling information loss), the bad news is that the actual issue isn't really fixed (using find/change
style sheets will still produce files that need repairs)."

I just stay away from the attributes and have been fine.
