The Bridge Version Version 5.0 was the transitional release. It introduced support for Mac OS X (natively) and Windows XP. It added features like tables, layers, and HTML export tools—an early attempt to pivot toward web design.
The Modernization Version 6 was the first to run only on Mac OS X and Windows 2000/XP (dropping classic support). Version 6.1 was a stability update that improved performance on the newer hardware.
The safest legal route is buying old CD-ROMs. Searches for "QuarkXPress 4.1 CD" or "Quark Passport Gold Disc" yield results. The Passport edition came on a distinctive gold-colored disc.
This was the first version where Passport truly shined for global publishing. Newspapers like the International Herald Tribune used v5.0 Passport to manage simultaneous English/French/Arabic layouts (though Arabic required an extra middleware extension).
