Not sure what you mean by rebuild... XPress Tags is a coding system that applies tags for bold/italics etc. and it includes codes for stylesheets. When I import the tagged text (it has to be in ascci) into Quark the pre-defined styles along with bolld/italics etc. get applied... Of course then I need to do more stuff do fix the styling of the fonts (if you know what I mean, font attributes vs. proper fonts) before creating print quality PDFs... It¹s a bit complicated but it has been done this way since forever... That¹s why I think there must be a better way somehow. _____________ Regina > From: Scott Strawbridge <scotts1@xxxxxxx> > Reply-To: muglo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Sun, 15 May 2011 21:18:10 -0400 > To: muglo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [Bulk] [muglo] Re: QuarkXpress and Leopard/Snow Leopard > > InDesign handles formatting and fonts from Word just fine.
