Exporting Quark 7 to InDesign CS4

Question

I am using Windows XP, latest updates. I have a batch of about 500 Quark 6.0 and 7.0 files that need to be converted to InDesign CS4. I've read that you can export from Quark to an .indd or .inx file, but there is no such option in my Quark 7.0 file> export menu. Do I have to have Quark 8 to do this? What other options are there other than creating a new template in InDesign and cutting & pasting text, then re-importing the graphics?

Indesign by itself will open Quark 4 files. So without Q2ID, you would
have to open each Quark 7 file, save down to Quark 6, open in Quark 6,
save down to Quark 5, open in Quark 5, save down to Quark 4, then open
in Indesign.
Quark cannot save to Indesign or Indesign Interchange format.
