 Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2005 2:38 pm Post subject: Does Quark work with Open Office? |
|
After buying an iMac G5 and decent printer, I'm stuck with OS 9 Photoshops 3 and Elements, and Quark XPress 4, plus OS 10 Elements. Can I use this program to insert data from the above software? I need to self-publish a book, in color. Is iPhoto sufficient for keeping track of 100s of photos? Any advice is appreciated.  |

oooh...are you hoping to import Quark documents into OpenOffice/Neo* or reverse? If you're trying to integrate either NeoOffice or OpenOffice.org into a Quark workflow your best bet will be to use the Word export facilities in Quark. There are unfortunately no OpenOffice.org/OpenDocument import filters available for Quark, so Word is your best intermediate format. Same goes for InDesign.

If you can't afford to upgrade Quark to an OS X compatible version, and you want to integrate OOo into a layout workflow (wherein you import OOo docs into your layout app - not the other way round), have a look at the Scribus project.
http://www.scribus.net/
There's also a native Aqua port in progress: http://aqua.scribus.net/ but this is still very Alpha.
Scribus imports OOo docs really well and even preserves the style definitions! You'll love it.

If you copy the text into a word document, doesn't work well. Only if you save the document on a word format this "place" works in InDesign (4.0)
We can save an opendocument in a InCopy format?
NB: Excuse my english...  CreerÃa que es mejor en español para explicarme. Lo intentaré por si alguien aquà domina la lengua de Cervantes. He intentado copiar texto desde un documento de openwriter en word y no me funciona bien, extrañamente cambia la visión del documento de "página" a "normal" y se ven algunos códigos raros... En cambio, si guardo el archivo de openoffice en formato de word, y luego lo importo desde InDesign 4.0 me va mejor.
Tampoco puedo copiar texto desde mi amado Wordperfect 3.5

Unfortunately the only export formats for an OpenDocument file at present are the ones listed in the save dialog.
The other option you may want to look into is AbiWord...that's the only other application for Mac OS X that I know of that can open/save OpenDocument formatted files (word processing only, but that seems to be what you're looking for)

I want to work the text on NeoOffice and "import" it from InDesign (I'm a book's designer) or Quark. To do this I have to save the document on a differente format (I cannot copy-paste text) but I hate Word because it "creates" many changes into the "styles" that I was format...
I'll try wit the AbiWord format...
Thanks! |

RTF? That's a fairly universal format with style support.

Oh, I was saying that abiword is the only other application I know of that can import documents. Right now there's no other programs that I know of that can import OpenDocument files on Mac OS X. You'll need to use sardisson's advice and us another format that can interchange between the two applications; OpenDocument simply won't work with anything other than OOo X11, NeoOffice, and AbiWord at the current time (I'm not sure about KOffice X11).

Thanks: RTF works good!!! I saved a document from neooffice with styles and footnotes. Then place the document into a indesign file and keep all the formating!!! 
Now I can forget word... (and look on the forum how can I do to my mac open all .doc and .rtf with openoffice...)
Thanks again. |
