How to Read QXP Files
QXP files are created by QuarkXPress, a layout and design program commonly used in the media industry. The QXP file extension has been used by the QuarkXPress to denote files created by the program since version 6 of the program was released in 2003. As of July 2011, QuarkXPress 9 is the most recent version of the program. Earlier versions of the program used the QXD file extension, which can still be opened with later versions of QuarkXPress.
