Hi, I wanted to know if one has to use quark or indesign to setup a magazine (lets say 15-20) pages?

Can all the graphics and text be done in xarax? I know xarax is not a page layout program, but has anyone done this? I guess one can export full page 8.5 x 11 out to quark or indesign or even a spread without the text and then setup the text in quark or indesign?
