I’m moving a document from Word to Quark on a Mac. I’m not a Mac person by any stretch, so besides mashing the wrong keys, there are a lot of unknowns. One of which is if there is any way to make this process easier. If it were Word-to-Word or similar, I’d write (or record) a couple quick macros to take care of a few multi-click tasks. But “macro” comes up empty in Quark help. Is there such a thing available, but under a different name? Is there any scripting language or helper I can futz with after the project’s done?

Thanks,

Rhythm
