Quark into Word 2

[ck718]

I have been asked to take a 37-page Quark document and make it a Word document. I was asked to make it an rtf file.

I tried cutting and pasting from Quark into Word. But how do I keep all my styling (bolds, italics, different type sizes, bullets, etc.)?

I am not familiar with Word.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi ck718
I'm using Quark 6.5 on a mac. and if I save text I have the choice to save as as rtf, Microsoft Word 6.0/95, HTML and WordPerfect 6.0, of course doubt that would help if you have pictures, etc.
Have you considered exporting as PDF? That would include everything and work on any platform.

Hope this IMacQuarker

Thanks. Actually, the final product for my client is a pdf, and it is finished. They would like to have the final document in Word so they can make changes for a future version. I tried "Save as" in Quark and do not get this choice of file types (like rtf).

Hi ck718

You have to choose "Save Text" to do that a text box must be highlighted.
Then you will get a window and from there you look near the bottom and choose what format to save text in.
If all the text is not linked together in all pages you might have to a select all for one or more text boxes, save that then go to the next group.
And when making a PDF I use export to PDF rather than print and save as PDF. It seems the Print to PDF here shrinks the actual size a point or 2.

Hope this helps

...you may want to investigate a pdf to word application, there are many out there. Don't be too surprised if some don't work very well, it is a tall order to go from one app to another without any problems...

...try a google search "pdf to word"...

..most seem to be pc rather than mac...

...here is one i found, trial runs are available too...
