XChange International announce the release of CopyFlow Gold

for QuarkXPress for Mac/Universal Binary and Windows.

XChange International, the source for extended technology worldwide, are pleased to announce the release of CopyFlow Gold for QuarkXPress v7 with support for Universal Binary. CopyFlow Gold adds powerful page-assembly capabilities to QuarkXPress and provides menu selections which enable end users to automatically import and export multiple linked text stories to and from Quark documents, even those in different text chains. CopyFlow Gold is particularly useful where volume is high, production involves multiple revisions, and deadlines are tight.

Features include batch processing of text, automate pagination and re-purposing of text content. CopyFlow Gold provides tools for naming Quark text frames individually and for identifying folders from which text may be batch imported and exported. An included Namer tool allows for the automatic naming of frames, a very useful feature when many frames are involved. Using the Batch Import tool, users can rapidly import content into text boxes of an Quark document. In addition, file types are filtered using the same logic that applies to Quark’s text filters. Text files can then be batch exported from Quark into RTF or tagged text files for further editing or re-purposing.

Usage examples:

* Book Production — Use CopyFlow Gold to import all the text and elements for book chapters as a batch process, even across a network from multiple locations 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. Multiple revision passes are more manageable with CopyFlow Gold controlling import and export. Once revisions are completed, quickly reassemble finished chapters automatically for output.
* Translations — Automatically name all text frames in an existing Quark 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 Quark document.
* Database Publishing — Use the report generator in a database application to automatically tag fields with layout frame names and create an input text file. Then prepare Quark layouts with corresponding frame names for page elements. Finally, batch import the file or files using CopyFlow Gold and quickly build catalogues or directories.
