First of all, are they paying you to automate or to repurpose the content for the web? Taking a page designed for print and then "automating" it into a page for the web is the wrong approach, your problem is not technical it is a design problem. Technically it is easy, I think, does Quark not have XML output? Or I think it is able to save document as HTML for the web too, then if you want to "automate" all u have to do is make a script that includes those pages inside a site shell. I actually wrote something like this that one could save an html file from word and upload it and it would be on the site, but again, I think it's a bad idea. You should NOT try to automate this, you should look into hiring a fulltime repurposing designer, at LEAST you should read "designing Web Usability" by Jacob Nielson, then maybe u get a better idea of what you SHOULD do.
