I am about to receive some QuarkXpress files for which I
would like to extract the graphics and text for use on
an IBM-PC. If anyone has any experience of doing this,
I would be most grateful.

Many Thanks,

Luke Taylor

easy(ish!)

1. Use QuarkXPress for Windows on the PC.

2. Do Save Text to export your text on a box-by-box basis.

3. Graphics are more of a problem. The only type of graphics you can
extract from an XPress page are PICT pics which have been pasted into
XPress since all other graphic formats only keep their previews in
the XPress file. Mind you, if they are in another format the graphics
*should* have been supplied separately on disk! But if they are EPSes
or TIFFs, you should re-save them (if you can) with PC previews.

Hope that helps!

Have fun

QuarkXPress generally doesn't store graphic files. It simply links
to them and maintains a low resolution picture of that file in the
document itself. So, in this case, you need the source graphic.

As to text, QuarkXPress allows you to save your text in many word
processing formats.

If you don't have QuarkXPress yourself, have the person who sends
you the files supply the graphic files and the text files for you.

LUKE! Go to file menu and use SAVE TEXT. Save as ASCII, and it can be
used on your IBM-PC (I presume you want to use a different application
other than Quark on your IBM) in whatever application you want. Your
pictures will either (usually) be in an EPS or TIFF format. Just rename
your picture files with the IBM extensions .eps or .tif, and they can be
used in your IBM-PC application, provided the application can use .eps
or .tif formats. That's all you'll have to do, although why you'd want
to go to a PC is beyond me (but that's amnother story...)

You'll also need the fonts. Bitmapped screen fonts and all the vector
printer fonts.
