I’ve written about Markzware’s MarkzTools before, Save QX7 Projects Down to QX4, And More…, but I didn’t mention some of its most useful features.

For example, this XTension for QuarkXPress can:

• Set a Mac OS color label on every document when you save it
• Convert any version document down to version 4.1 (without opening it into QuarkXPress)
• Verify the integrity of a document without opening it
• Split QuarkXPress 6 & 7 projects into the separate Layouts contained in them.
• Salvage corrupted files
• Verify files when saving
• Convert all picture previews to gray boxes
• and much more.

MarkzTools costs $199 and is available for Mac only.
