[Freehand] FH to Corel or PageMaker

[John Williscroft]

Hi
I've not touched PM for years, but I'd guess the best you can do is  
export the pages as 'Quark eps' files and get them to import each  
page into PM. It'll be long winded for that many pages, so you'll  
need to make sure they don't fall asleep and put 'em in the wrong  
order ;-)
