One of the import formats Dispatch supports is the QuarkXPress tag format. XPress tags contain stylesheet and formatting information that Dispatch can use to pre-fill out database fields, saving you time. Due to the way QuarkXPress handles text boxes, stories need to be individually extracted as XPress tags. This is the only way to separate stories from ads or miscellaneous text boxes within your QuarkXPress documents.
Once the save text dialog appears (see above right), give the file a distinctive name with the extension ".xtg" (ie: film.xtg, film2.xtg). Change the format to "XPress Tags" (you'll only have to do this on the first story you save; Quark should remember this setting). Press save to save the story.
