QuarkXPress ("Quark") is a computer application for creating and editing complex page layouts in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) environment. It runs on Mac OS X and Windows. It was first released by Quark, Inc. in 1987 and is still owned and published by them.

QuarkXPress is used by individual designers and large publishing houses to produce a variety of layouts, from single-page flyers to the multi-media projects required for magazines, newspapers, catalogs, and the like. QuarkXPress once dominated the market for page layout software with over 95% market share among professional users.

QuarkXPress 5 proves up to the challenge, facing the new millennium with new tools and a redefined mission: Create a document once and publish it anywhere. Whether you're a page-layout novice or an old handlooking to learn new tricks, there's no better or faster introduction tothis revamped classic than QuarkXPress 5
