All master pages and layers are converted to InDesign master pages and layers.
•
By default, a new document (or one converted from QuarkXPress) contains just one
layer, called Layer 1. InDesign converts Adobe PageMaker documents differently to
accommodate the differences in PageMaker and InDesign layers. In PageMaker, master
page objects on layers always appear behind all objects on document pages. In InDesign,
however, master objects on layers appear at the back of each corresponding layer.
•
All master-page objects, as well as QuarkXPress guides, are placed on the corresponding
InDesign master pages.
•
PageMaker document guides are placed on the Default layer in InDesign.
•
Grouped objects remain grouped except where nonprinting items are included in a group.
•
All strokes and lines are converted to the line styles they most closely resemble. Custom
strokes and dashes are converted to custom strokes and dashes in InDesign.
For information about other conversion issues, check the support documents on the Adobe
Web site.
To open a PageMaker or QuarkXPress document or template:
1. Make sure that the original application file is closed. To ensure that all links are main-
tained, copy all linked files to the same PageMaker or QuarkXPress document folder.
2. In InDesign, choose File > Open.
3. In Windows, choose PageMaker (6.5-7.0), or QuarkXPress (3.3 or 4.1x) in the Files of
Type menu.
4. Select a file and click Open. 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.
5. 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.
