Hebrew Quark XT?

jhdesign

Is there a Quark XT for Hebrew layouts? I created a booklet in Quark 6 in English that's being translated into Hebrew. I found out that Hebrew is the exact opposite of English--it's read right to left and books are front to back. Is there an extension for Quark that can flow text in this manner? I've seen a post regarding Arabic, which is apparently similar, but, from what I gather, it seems the extension doesn't work that well. Is anyone familiar with a Hebrew extension?

open it in InDesign ME and then you’ll be able to reverse the layout and put in Hebrew.

The last version of Quark to support Hebrew was 4 (and you had to get the more expensive “Passport” version.) But InDesign ME offers better Hebrew support than Quark ever had. If all you need is a single booklet, there’s a 30 day trial version available for download.
