Custom Applications:
Excel and Microsoft Access to Quark Xpress

Now available: An Microsoft Access DB application that feeds Quark Xpress documents like newspaper advertisements, catalogs, yearbooks, directories or books with data from Microsoft Access or Excel. You give us the Quark file with your style sheets in place, your Access database and we will configure it so you can use it again and again greatly reducing the production time going forward. Export your DB content directly into Quark Xpress, pre-formatted to your exact specifications.

Year books, directories of any kind, and vehicle sales tabloid production people would see huge savings in actual layout time.

The purpose of the sample project shown here was to take an existing Microsoft Access database, export data from Access and import the data directly into Quark Xpress with all the pre-defined style sheets (from Quark) intact upon import. The time savings is tremendous and multiplies the more the application is used. Where you may normally spend a day or several days creating this full page advertisement, this feature dropped that to only an hour, if that. Multiply that savings by the number of weeks in the year the ad runs and ... well, you get the picture. The Client was very happy with the weekly savings and increased productivity that keeps growing with each use.

All the text-based information
in this Quark Xpress advertisment
was imported from an Access database
with all the style sheets already
applied. The time savings for
production of catalogs, directories,
vehicle sales tabloids, repeating
advertisments or a long series of
product data sheets can be
tremendous.
