How to install and launch the DOCX Converter Migration Tool

Product: Quark Publishing Platform (QPP) NextGen (3.x)

Summary: DOCX Converter tool simplifies the process of converting your legacy Microsoft Word documents (.docx or DOCX files) into XML documents (.xml files) in bulk, making the process several times faster and easier in comparison to copy-pasting the content from Microsoft Word to Quark Author and then formatting it manually.

NOTE: The DOCX Converter tool is meant for administrator use; therefore, only users with a QPP NextGen Admin license can use the application.

To set up the DOCX Converter, you must perform the following steps:
  • Install and launch the DOCX Converter
  • Sync the DOCX Converter with your QPP NextGen server repository dynamic configuration.
  • Create a collection structure on the server repository to set up the path.
  • Upload configuration files to the collections as per dynamic

Solution: The DOCX Converter installation process is as follows:
  • Download the installer package and extract it.
  • Double-click on the installer file and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
  • Once the installation is complete, the app launcher icon for DOCX Converter becomes available (in the Start menu on Windows and in Finder > Applications on Mac). Click on the app launcher to open DOCX Converter.
