Product Information
CopyFlow Gold adds powerful page assembly capabilities to QuarkXPress® 4 and 5. Once installed on a Macintosh or Windows machine, it provides additional menu selections which let you automatically import and export text and import artwork into QuarkXPress documents.
These automated processing features make using QuarkXPress faster and more productive than ever to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of publishing professionals in high volume and/or multi-user, networked publishing environments.
CopyFlow Gold Menu How does CopyFlow Gold work?
The CopyFlow Gold menu provides tools for naming XPress text and picture boxes individually, and for identifying folders from which text and art may be imported and exported. An additional tool called Namer allows for the automatic naming of boxes, a very useful feature when many boxes are involved.
Using the 'batch import' tool, you may rapidly import content into text or picture boxes in your XPress document. In the example below, text in the Word file 'Leadstory.rtf' will flow into a series of named text boxes in the open XPress document. In addition, file types are filtered using the same logic that applies to XPress's 'Get Text' and 'Get Picture' commands. Text files can then be exported from XPress into Word RTF or tagged text files for further editing or repurposing.
Who should use CopyFlow Gold?
CopyFlow Gold enhances the use of XPress for many professional publishing applications, including books, magazines, journals, newsletters, newspapers, directories, advertisements, and catalogs.
CopyFlow Gold automates the batch import and export of files into layouts, and dramatically increases the speed of document production. It is particularly useful where volume is high, production involves multiple revisions, and deadlines are tight.
CopyFlow Gold saves time, eliminates steps, and helps control production.

Examples of CopyFlow Gold Applications
Book Production: Use CopyFlow Gold to import all the text and graphical elements for book chapters as a batch process, even across a network from multiple sources and in multiple file formats. Proof page layouts with all elements in position, then export text files which require revisions back to the originator or editor, and flush graphics from the page as needed. Multiple revision passes are more manageable with CopyFlow Gold controlling import and export. Once revisions are completed, quickly reassemble finished chapters automatically for output.
Display Ad Work: To update standing display ads rapidly, tag new copy elements with corresponding box names and store as single or multiple word processor files. Then batch import the text. Flush some or all copy elements from the layout to re-use it as a template. Flow of text and graphics into the layout is automatic, eliminating the tedium of manual placement. CopyFlow Gold greatly reduces production turnaround time.
CopyFlow Gold Preferences Translations: Autoname all text boxes in an existing Quark document, export all of the text into a single composite tagged file, submit this file to your translation program of choice, and re-import the translated text into the same Quark document.
Magazine Production: Build entire sections and publications automatically, by batch importing text and images into their assigned positions in page layouts.
Database Publishing: Use the report generator in your database program to automatically 'tag' fields with layout box names and create a lengthy input file. Then prepare XPress layouts with corresponding box names for page elements. Finally, batch import the file or files using CopyFlow Gold and quickly build catalogs or directories.
