Re: Frame to Quark

["Rick Quatro" <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Barb,

Why not re-style the documents in FrameMaker? It's foolish to convert the
document to Quark simply to change the look of it for printing. My
suggestion is to find a printer that can handle FrameMaker files. Or, make
PDFs for the printer from your FrameMaker files.
