Is there anyway to import an Excel spreadsheet into Indesign and keep it’s functionality? If that’s not possible, can I export a letterhead design from Indesign and drop into an excel spreadsheet?

Thanks bunches!!

Hi. We run Microsoft Office 2007 and Adobe InDesign CS2 at work. When we try importing the Excel file into InDesign, it comes out as code. We do not get the “Microsoft Excel Import Options” dialog box. Instead we get the “Text Import Options”(as in InDesign text options). We have been driving ourselves mad for the past two hours trying to figure this out. Any help?

When you import an Excel table can you also rotate it in the event it too large for a portrait setting.

You guys rock.

Hello,

I am a new Indesign user, and I have a dilemma in importing an excel file as we are trying to complete a supplier book, we have an excel with around 500 records, and our end product should have each supplier on each page.
Is there anyway where we can create a master template and then import the excel data so we can have an end result of 500 pages?

Many thanks in advance.
