QuarkXpress 5 on Panther

[Rav Norodom]

Hi all,

I had been using QuarkXpress 4.11 on Classic mode from Panther for the 
past few months. Everything works fine except when spooling to laser 
printer---it takes twice the amount of time to spool than in OS 9. I am 
thinking of upgrading to QuarkXpress 5.0 (not the latest 6.1). The 
reason is most of my co-workers are still using QuarkXpress 4.11 on OS 
9. I know 5.0 can save document as 4.0 and 6.1 can only save document 
as low as 5.0.

InDesign is not an option at this time---too time consuming for every 
employee to relearn new tools plus the time to convert hundred of pages 
of complex Quark documents to InDesign is not what my boss is looking 
for.

Anyone has any experience using QuarkXpress 5.0 on Panther? I am 
looking for a feedback before deciding to purchase the upgrade.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Rav
