CopyFlow Gold for QuarkXPress and InDesign

Figure 8b After I used the auto-naming process, I then used the export button to send all of the text blocks to a folder that I designated using the conventional manner. Once exported, the flush command removes the exported text. Notice that my text boxes remain in place.

Figure 8c Here is the list of my exported text. I ended up with about 25 individual text files, ready for post-processing. From here, I can open these in any word processor, and translate them, for example, use them in my web applications, or just archive them.

Figure 9 Once you have named the boxes, you can view the individual box names in the CopyFlow Gold Named Box Lists dialogue box.

Importing text with CopyFlow Gold for QuarkXPress

Importing previously exported text is just as simple as the export process. Begin by clicking the import button to begin the batch-import process. At this time, the entire document is scanned for named boxes and the import folder searched for a file of the selected filter type to be imported into each named box.

Note: When translating text files be careful not to disturb or
translate the tags and other markup.

Anchored boxes in CopyFlow Gold (single XPress Tags file only)

CopyFlow Gold has extended QuarkXPress' standard tags in XPress Tags to support most anchored text and picture boxes. There is no need to use the box-naming feature to name anchored boxes, CopyFlow Gold does this automatically. Inline text box tags preserve the anchored box's width and height, baseline or top alignment, and any content. Inline picture box tags support any picture content allowed by QuarkXPress: box width, height, and alignment, and these picture positioning attributes: offset across and down, and scaling across and down. The path to the picture content is recorded as part of the tag and used to re-import any anchored picture content. It is important to remember that the picture must be in the same location and available at time of import.
