 | Our editors and writers use Microsoft Word (MAC) to prepare text and
articles. After I import their docs into a Quark document I apply
styles. When I apply styles I lose the editor's original formatting
-bold, italic etc. So I then need to open their documents and scan for
bolds, italics, etc. and then apply to the Quark version. Any way to
have those styles remain after I apply a style sheet?
Thanks

| I think there is a way which I ran across in a tutorial from Quark's
site a while back. I think if you hold down the Command key (Alt in
Windows) when you apply the style it will keep the existing formatting
and add the formatting from the style. I'm not sure if it work both
when you go through the style palette and through the menu. I seem to
remember the tutorial took you through the menu.

No, on the contrary, that removes the existing formatting. If you just click
the style to apply it, you shouldn't lose the local formatting. But there
are complications, and your editors can help you by:
1. Not using 'Normal' style in Word for anything - it resists reformatting
in Quark.
2. Using Word character styles for bold, italic, etc. instead of directly
applied formatting. Then you can redefine these styles easily in Quark.

| I create style in Word that is same (font, font size, line spacing, first
line indent...) as body tekst style in Quark. When you apply that style on
Word doc formatting will be unaffected. For captions you don't need to keep
formatting...

| Another method.
In Quark create a character style for bold, italic, bold italic
On the incoming text search and replace all instances of italic with the
character style italic, repeat for other styles as needed. Convert the
text to the required paragraph style.
Make sure that no character styles were created in Word for this method.
