Hi,

Someone has approached me with a book he has done in Impression. His publishers want it in Quark format. The book is structured as lots of frames with text in - there's no large body text that flows through the document, instead each page has four non-linked frames with text in.

I wondered if anyone has any suggestions as to how to tackle this problem.

I'm considering writing some software to help, if I do that I want to make the software useful for the users of Ovation Pro.

I can load the documents into Ovation Pro, the question is what format to save them out in?

Approaches I have tried and discarded are - print to PDF, PDF to Word conversion (loses all the style information), save text as DDF, DDF to Word using Techwriter (hard work because there are so many stories).
