Your CF install has the latest patches? Do they already have the fonts installed locally?
Since it's tabular data, perhaps the XML import/linking stuff would work for you? In theory, it's pretty cool- you define a source, and when they "sync" the document, the latest content gets pulled in. In 6 it at least sorta works (unlike 5 :P), but iirc, it included the whitespace between XML elements when importing. As a side note, I've got a function that uses the JExcel java library to create Excel files- For excel, nothing beats JExcel's capabilities. Good luck with Quark, it's a persnickety one.
