Please read the following information carefully to ensure a successful update of your QuarkXPress 3.1 program. We apologize for any inconvenience these problems may have caused you. The QuarkFreebies collection contains 11 XTensions that provide an array of enhancements for your QuarkXPress pro- gram. For a complete list of the QuarkFreebies XTensions and a brief description of what they do, please refer to page five of this document. If you are using Adobe Type Manager , it is imperative that you install version 2.0 or greater (2.0.3 for 68040-based Macs, 2.0.2 for other Macs with 32-bit addressing on) before you update your QuarkXPress 3.1 program. When you launch QuarkXPress 3.11 the program will warn you if you are running an incompatible version of ATM. Please do not ignore this warning! Incompatible versions of ATM will cause QuarkXPress to crash! Contact Adobe for version 2.0 or above. When updating your copy of ATM, be sure to update both the init file (~ATM 68020/030) and the control panel (~ATM). Check your ATM control panel for font cache size. You should allow 50K for each font you expect to be on the screen at the same time. Bold, italic, and bold-italic versions count toward the total. The font cache should always be 256k or more.

This message has just been introduced in QuarkXPress 3.11, and is a valid message. Please be assured, clicking “Repair” is a good thing; using the file in its current state could be detrimental to that file’s health. The damage that is being repaired is not something that is caused by any particular document construction techniques of the user. In short, the “repairs” are done for minor corruptions in the documents internal file structure, which a typical user can neither fore- see nor prevent. The following errors are among those which can cause the message to occur: • Invalid color in a document: the item will be set to black • Text format specification (style, size, font, etc.) is bad: a valid style will be substituted • Paragraph format spec…
