In that case it really depends on what version of XPress they are using.
avenue.quark (free with QuarkXPress 5 or 6) should be up to a task
that easy (if their flows are real, and if ... and if ...) but they have
to be using XPress 5 or 6. Many XPress users are still happy with
older, sometimes much older, versions.
