![]() Sidebars and the like seem to come in okay. I've never had any come in at the right size (even though they were linked/updated in the Quark file). Instead of say 88 percent, they may come in 86.984038403 or some weird number like that. All the line breaks will change.Īrt sizes: They won't be exact. H&Js definitely come thorough as what Quark file was, but you know that. Note that when the files convert “single line composer” is automatic, and if you want “paragraph composer,” you will need to change that. A lot of Quark users set the margin for the top of the running head instead top of text. Oh–you'll probably need to readjust the head margin so the text box starts in the right place. I've found that the first baseline of text of a converted document sets down about a point further than it did in Quark. You need to kill all the running heads individually then reapply the master.Īlso–it seems Quark and InDesign measure ascenders a bit differently. If you make a change to the master only (i.e., change wording of running head) on the master, it won't effect the actual pages in the book. Master pages come through okay, but because of the way Quark does things, the running heads and folios can be touched on all the actual pages. You need to go to each paragraph style and change it to 0 and then change it to metric (or optical if you wish). Although it will convert and the style sheets may say “metric” kerning, if you go into the actual paragraphs they are all 0 kerning. Paragraph style sheet kerning is messed up. One needs to definitely fix all the style sheets after conversion. It's okay if you're just converting a file, but if you flow in new type with those style sheets the TXF will come in indented. If you look at the TXF style sheet it has the 1p6 indent. The file converts okay and the paragraphs stay the same so far as indents or no indents, but with a + next to it. My TXF is based upon that but was changed to no indent. For example, my TX style sheet is regular text with a 1p6 paragraph indent. If a paragraph style sheet is based on another, come through that way, but without any changes that may have been to it in Quark. One is the style sheets and how they come across. But it's definitely not perfect (and it never claims to be).
