I am using Filemaker for a member database. I am looking to create a member directory in Quark. Last year, I exported the records as tab-separated text. I then went into Quark and hit return a lot (there are 10,000 records) and then went through and bolded cerrtain lines and italicized others.

Its just a normal database, but the end product needs to be in this format:

<b>Company Name</b>

Person's name

Address L1

Address L2

Phone

Fax

Home

<i>Notes</i>

Quark HTML Text Import Filter would be one way to proceed. All you need to do is tag up your text before you export it. Create a calculated field that looks just like your example above, i.e.:

"<B>" & Company Name & "</B>" & "
