I finally am trying to shift from NW Classic to NW Pro -- and I discover that NisusWriter's files don't import properly into Quark Xpress. The RTF files won't import *at all*, and if I save in Word format, it still bollixes the format.

I don't understand what differences you find between the user-defined rulers and user-defined styles (which are in NWP). What you need, I think, is a plain text with style names and bold and italic tags. I think this is not too difficult to do with the new NWP macro. I have not a ready macro for such a purpose, but a macro like Kino's "SelectByStyle.nwm" (<http://www2.odn.ne.jp/alt-quinon/files/NWPro/select/SelectByStyle_nwm.zip>) would help you very much to write a macro for your needs.

I use a similar macro to generate tex format files from a NWP files.
