Turning images into symbols

[dougal77]

Hi - can anyone help with this please?
I've created an image in Illustrator that I'd like to be able to insert as a symbol into QuarkXpress 6.1 files (on OSX10.3.4).
The image is just a logo that I'd like to be able to insert at the end of text in a magazine, the same size as a letter. I'd rather not have to insert a pic box every time I need to use it - is it possible to turn it into something like a dingbat?
At the moment the logo is saved as an eps but i can fairly easily turn it into another format.
Thanks very much!

you will need to purchase an application like Fontographer to create a new font for this purpose. You might have a copy if you have purchased the Macromedia suite in the past.

Hey Dougal77,

If you haven't sorted it so far - I've used this a fair few times and saves getting anything like fontographer.

Bring in your logo/symbol into your doc at the size you require. Copy this pic box using the item selection tool then switch to the content tool and paste into your text!

Thanks. I'll have to c&p as you suggest, bischerboy, until I get something like fontographer (thanks baddoggy).
