How to Create A word template from a Quark or InDesign File?

A.
- From within QuarkXPress, select File / Save Page as EPS
- From within InDesign, select File / Export / Format: EPS

- Open the EPS in Adobe Illustrator then File / Export / select “Tif”. Select the check box in the Tif Options window for IBM PC and Resolution of 300 dpi. Check your tif file size in Photoshop. An 8.5x11 should produce and 8.4x11 but if it dowsn’t go back to your eps and add blank boxes in the 4 corner of your page. Also anything bleeding off your page margins will be included in your tif giving you additional page size.

- Open a Word doc, View/Header and Footer


- Before placing in your graphic, decide if you want this image to appear on consecutive pages. If you do, proceed to the next step. However, if you want page 2 to be blank, click on File / Page Setup, under the Layout tab define your Section start as New Page then, right below that, check the box labeled Different first page / OK.

- Place your curser within your Header or Footer and Insert / Picture / From File, browse to find your tif file / Insert. You want to add your image to the Header or Footer so the user will have less access to tit and less change of accidentally moving it later.

- To position you tif within you Word doc, click on the image, then in your Picture toolbar click on the icon that looks like a square with a yellow diamond in the center and scroll down to select Edit Wrap Point. Now when you click away from your image, then back to it. You should have open squares for endpoints. Now from the top of your page select Format / Picture.

Click through these tabs that appear in the Format Picture window:
Size: set height and width to 100%.
Position: Horizontal – 0, Vertical – 0, From: Page, From: Page. This works if your page size in Quark and Word are the same, if you are positioning something that’s multiple up these will need to be adjusted, and will be different for each image.
Wrapping: select None

- Once the image(s) is placed, get out of Header and Footer. Open the Word template for L01 or L02 and copy the text that reader . Go back to your document and Edit / Paste. To more precisely position this text click File / Page Setup and click on the Margins tab. By adjusting the margins your type will shift.

- Save your file and try it. Enter enough text and return to generate a new page. If after your first return you find yourself on the 2nd page, go back to Header and Footer mode, select your graphic, Format / Picture, Select the Wrapping tab and re-select None. The problem in that your text is trying to jump over the image.

Note: the placement of text on page 2 will be identical to page1. If the customer desires a different placement of page 2 they will need to adjust the margins for that new section themselves once that new section has been generated.

- Save you file as a Document Template (.dot) and send to customer for proof. Ask if they would like this stored on the Logos and Stationery database.
