Quark Compat. Recap & favor please!

[Susan W. Gallagher <sgallagher5 -at- cox -dot- net>]

A couple of weeks ago, I asked about transferring Quark/Mac
files to either Quark or InDesign for Windows, and got some
good answers and advice, thanks.

Sometimes you make the wrong decision for all the right reasons...

This is a start-up organization with not a whole lot of money 
to spend, and the price for Adobe's Creative Suite, which 
includes InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Distiller, and 
GoLive, is only a couple of hundred bucks more than Quark --
and I needed everything except GoLive (having an older version
of DreamWeaver in-house) -- so I bought CS.

Now for my problem...
InDesign does a great job of sucking in Quark files from 
version 4.0 or earlier but does not come with import filters
for Quark 5 or 6 and most of the files I have must be 5s 
because InDesign just does not recognize them.

I have downloaded the Quark 6.1 demo, so I can open and
view the files, but the demo is save-disabled. I can copy
individual elements from one application to another, but 
not whole pages.

So, I need help, please!

If someone could...
   point me to an updated import filter to suck Quark 5 or 6
   into InDesign

   --or--

   gimme a clue as to how to copy whole pages/documents from
   Quark to InDesign

   --or--

   volunteer to take my Quark 5+ files and convert them all
   (one time only) to Quark 4 so InDesign can read them

...I would be eternally greatful!

Thanks a million!
