Undo mistakes
If necessary, you can cancel a lengthy operation before it’s completed, undo recent changes, or revert to a previously
saved version. You can undo or redo up to several hundred of the most recent actions (the amount is limited by the
amount of RAM available and the kinds of actions you performed). The series of actions is discarded when you choose
the Save As command, close a document, or when you exit from the program.
❖
Do one of the following:
• To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo [action]. (You cannot undo certain actions, such as
scrolling.)
• To redo an action, choose Edit > Redo [action].
• To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the project, choose File > Revert (InDesign) or File >
Revert Content (InCopy).
• To close a dialog box without applying changes, click Cancel.
Converting QuarkXPress and PageMaker documents
Open QuarkXPress files in InDesign
InDesign can convert document and template files from QuarkXPress 3.3 or 4.1x. InDesign can also convert document
and template files from multi-language QuarkXPress Passport 4.1x files, so there is no longer any need to save these
files as single-language files first. (To convert documents created with QuarkXPress 5.0 or later, reopen the documents
in QuarkXPress and save them in 4.0 format.)
For more information, see the QuarkXPress Conversion Guide (PDF) at
.
Open a QuarkXPress document or template
1
Make sure that the original application file is closed.
2
To ensure that all links are maintained, copy all linked files to the same QuarkXPress document folder.
3
In InDesign, choose File > Open.
4
In Windows, choose QuarkXPress (3.3-4.1x) or QuarkXPress Passport (4.1x) from the Files Of Type menu.
5
Select a file and click Open.
Note: If InDesign cannot convert a file or a specific part of a file, it displays a warning describing the reasons it cannot
convert it and the results of the conversion.
6
If a warning dialog box appears, do one of the following:
• Click Save to save a copy of the warnings as a text file, and then open the file in InDesign.
• Click Close to close the dialog box and open the file in InDesign.
7
To more accurately convert text wrap applied in QuarkXPress, do the following in InDesign:
• Select Text Wrap Only Affects Objects Beneath in the Composition area of the Preferences dialog box.
• Assign the Adobe Single-Line Composer in the Paragraph panel menu to one or more paragraphs.
If you’re experiencing problems with the converted QuarkXPress document, use the Export dialog box to save the
document in InDesign Markup (IDML) format. Then open the IDML file and save it as an InDesign document.
