Thanks for the help with the QxP/InDD issue. Perhaps you can do a piece on bringing WordPerfect files into MS Word. The only solution that worked so far was saving the WP file as text - thereby losing all the formatting - then pasting into Word.

I wanted to share an experience I'd had with migrating a file from QxP to InDD a few years ago, picking up as a contractor from where another designer had left off. The company had taken QxP off the machine I was on . . . which should have been an indication . . . but I digress. My point is, once I had QxP on the machine again, InDD would not open the QxP file - the ages and versions of both programs simply wouldn't allow it. So I had to cut/paste between the two - and the formatting from QxP was lost or restyled by InDD. Which at first was OK, but I had to match the QxP formatting exactly. I can now look back and laugh at this . . . at the time I was buggy-eyed. The previous designer had taken their text boxes by the handles and resized them to make the type fit the page . . . I was dealing with six or seven sizes of regular and bold weight, and italic, Helvetica in a paragraph. For example, I was working with sizes that were "9.3338 on 9.3348" . . . . I asked the manager for direction and the manager said "exact size, exact format!!!" OK. Then they got mad because it took me so long . . . . I mentally throttled the previous designer with every format application.

Thank you again!

Here QuarkXpress files can be converted into Indesign files for a small fee, which will save you purchasing the whole conversion software for only a single file or so: www.stokesdesignproject.com/quark-indesign.html
