Hi I work in an inhouse design setting. I am responsible for the production of a monthly product catalog with 3000+ products (about 100 pages). Currently we are laying out the content in Quark as tabed text with rules and verticle lines. I haven't convered the catalog to table format because that would required a extensive revamping of the layout. The marketing department who gives us the data has a database with all of the catalog's information in it hand writes all changes for us to populate the catalog. My question is does anyone have any advise as to how I can automate this process. I have explored XML and autoprice and even looked into the new excel capabilities of quark 6.1 but nothing really seems to click. So does anyone have any advice.

There are a lot of catalog creation extensions (XT) for Quark. Check out the extension page on Quark's site. You may be able to handle this conversion very simply and save time in the future.
