hi, i’ve been looking all over, and haven’t found anything...

i’m creating masters for a magazine, using paragraph and character styles...
my client will not be using InDesign

several years ago, i used a plugin that copy each paragraph and character style
to a document of word or pages..

does anyone know where can i find something similar, that allows me to copy
the style settings into a document?

i’ll place an image to give a clear idea of what i need...

i hope someone can help me!
thanks a lot

What will your client be using - Quark?

This tip is not going to be as helpful as a proper plug-in, but in a pinch you can export text from your master as Adobe Tagged Text format. This will create plain text marked up with your styles, and at the head is a complete definition of all styles. You’ll need to learn to decipher and wade through all the Adobe Tagged Text syntax (exporting as “verbose” rather than “abbreviated” makes it a little easier to decipher).

Not ideal, perhaps, but maybe better than having to take a bunch of notes by hand.
