CopyFlow Gold adds powerful page-assembly capabilities to QuarkXPress 4, 5, 6, and 7. It provides menu selections which enables the end user to automatically import and export text and import artwork into QuarkXPress documents.These automated-processing features make using QuarkXPress faster and more productive than ever to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of publishing professionals in high-volume and/or multi-user, networked publishing environments.Features:• batch process text and art;• automate pagination and repurpose text — just do it better and faster; and• incorporates the best features of HNJ Engine Lite and CopyFlow products.CopyFlow Gold provides tools for naming QuarkXPress text and picture boxes individually, and for identifying folders from which text and art may be imported and exported. An additional tool called Namer allows for the automatic naming of boxes, a very useful feature when many boxes are involved.Using the batch import tool, the user can rapidly import content into text or picture boxes of a QuarkXPress document. In addition, file types are filtered using the same logic that applies to QuarkXPress's get text and get picture commands. Text files can then be exported from QuarkXPress into RTF or tagged text files for further editing or repurposing. CopyFlow Gold enhances the use of QuarkXPress for many professional publishing applications, including books, magazines, journals, newsletters, newspapers, directories, advertisements, and catalogs. CopyFlow Gold automates the batch import and export of files into layouts, and dramatically increases the speed of document production. It is particularly useful where volume is high, production involves multiple revisions, and deadlines are tight.Examples of uses:• Book Production — Use CopyFlow Gold to import all the text and graphic elements for book chapters as a batch process, even across a network from multiple sources, and in multiple file formats. Proof page layouts with all elements in position, then export text files which require revisions back to the originator or editor, and flush graphics from the page as needed. Multiple revision passes are more manageable with CopyFlow Gold controlling import and export. Once revisions are completed, quickly reassemble finished chapters automatically for output.• Display Ad Work — To update standing display ads rapidly, tag new copy elements with corresponding box names and store as single or multiple word-processor files. Then batch import the text. Flush some or all copy elements from the layout to reuse it as a template. Flow of text and graphics into the layout is automatic, eliminating the tedium of manual placement.• Translations — Automatically name all text boxes in an existing QuarkXPress document, export all of the text into a single composite tagged file, submit this file to the translation application of choice, and reimport the translated text into the same QuarkXPress document.• Magazine Production — Build entire sections and publications automatically by batch importing text and images into their assigned positions in page layouts.• Database Publishing — Use the report generator in a database application to automatically tag fields with layout box names and create a lengthy input file. Then prepare QuarkXPress layouts with corresponding box names for page elements. Finally, batch import the file or files using CopyFlow Gold and quickly build catalogs or directories.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: North Atlantic Publishing Systems
