Seven Favorite XTensions

April 22nd, 2008 · by Jay Nelson · 1 Comment

X-Ray MagazineX-Ray Magazine has a terrific description of someone’s seven favorite XTensions for QuarkXPress. (I’m assuming it’s the editor, but there’s no name listed.)

I personally agree with all their choices, which are:

  • Spellbound
  • ContactPage
  • DocuSlim
  • QX-Tools Pro
  • VTools
  • ID2Q7
  • Xdata

As they say, if you spend 30 minutes or more repeating some activity in QuarkXPress, there’s probably an XTension that will automate it for you. Read about them at, Xtensions for 7.

    Hi Jay:

    Thank you for the endorsement! I’ve updated the byline. (I take full blame — they are my favorites.)
