Jennie–I’m glad you liked the advice. I learned it the hard way once and that’s when I decided to export as an .inx file immediately after converting it.

svitallo–I’m thinking that the text boxes are coming across with the text inset and runaround because the original Quark file was that way.

I believe that Quark’s default was the runaround on and a text inset of 1 point. I remember having to set up preferences (with no file open) and modifying all my text and picture boxes to the settings I wanted.

But we’d get files from another typesetting house and they had all that stuff at default :(

Thankfully, when such files come across with those insets or text wraps, InDesign lets you easily search and replace them with the settings you want.

I’ll look around as I’ll bet there’s a script out there that will be helpful to you.
