I'd like to import data using Word or Excel...is this even <br />possible?<br /><br />any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.<br /><br />Roy 0 0 2008-07-28T22:57:29 http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/WSF6E6B3AC-8CE5-4606-B3B4-6ECC05483D9F.html#78744 Hi,<br /><br />I've been trying to set this up for a training exercise, but I can't seem to get it <br />working. I tried a simple example, a contact list, and I can't clone the <br />repeating data.<br /><br />I have:<br /><Contacts><br /> <Person><br /> <Name>Name1</Name><br /> <Address>Address1</Address><br /> <Phone>Phone1</Phone><br /> </Person><br /> <Person><br /> <Name>Name2</Name><br /> <Address>Address2</Address><br /> <Phone>Phone2</Phone><br /> </Person><br /></Contacts><br /><br />When I import the XML and click the Clone repeating text elements, the data <br />in the second Person element doesn't show.<br /><br />-- Jeff Jeff Sese 0 0 2007-12-19T19:51:39 http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/WSF6E6B3AC-8CE5-4606-B3B4-6ECC05483D9F.html#75823 No, InDesign does not create new frames, pages, or documents for new XML elements. You don't provide much information in your question, but you may want to consider using the data merge feature to import the database items.

If anyone can prove me wrong, please do ! 0 0 2007-10-27T07:47:19 http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/WSF6E6B3AC-8CE5-4606-B3B4-6ECC05483D9F.html#74662 For information on creating placeholders for repeating content, see the following excerpt from the InDesign CS2 Real World book:<br /><br />http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs2at_placeholder.html Bob - Adobe Writer 0 0 2007-10-08T12:15:33
