Help please

I am currently designing a calendar of tours. (months accross the top, tour names down the side) The calendar has been made in excel but now we want to have it professionally printed.

Should i export as a pdf then tiff and bring it into quark for final touches and colouring?

The grids in excell are perfect and I do not want to have to re-make in Quark UNLESS there is an easy way to manage this type of work in Quark????

any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

sandipear, welcome to the forum.
You can import excel files into quark if you are on a PC, Just use the import command in the edit menu. I'm working from memory here. Sometimes they can get a little buggy. The other option is to export them as pdf but sometimes things will drop off in the process. I have also had some luck copy and pasting them into word and then doing a pdf from there. There is no reason to convert the pdfs to tiffs.
Good luck.

I just remembered something. if the import file doesnt work you can select the excel data and then paste it into an empty picture box.
