Working with documents

Edit metadata in image files
When you generate captions of placed images in InDesign, the metadata from the placed image is used. Although you
can edit the metadata of InDesign documents, you cannot edit the metadata of placed files in InDesign. Instead, change
the metadata of placed images using their original applications, using Finder or Explorer, or using Adobe Bridge or
Adobe Mini Bridge.
1 In InDesign, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the image, and then choose Edit Original.
You can also choose Edit With and then choose an application such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop.
2 In the original application, choose File > File Info.
3 Edit the metadata, and then click OK.
You can also select an image in Adobe Bridge and choose File > File Info to edit the image metadata. See “ Add metadata
using the File Info dialog box ” on page 108.
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 www.adobe.com/go/learn_quarkconv .
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.
