Response to: Table Data Import
Hello Bernd, yes, I agree, InDesign's XML Table Features are weak. If you really need a solution for this, you can use scripting (visual Basic or applescript). you can define your own xml-format, apply an xsl-t transformation and build a new or change an existing indesign table while walking throut the resulting DOM-Object. I've done this for some customers on a windows platform using visual basic. It's not an easy solution, but if you need the actuality of the indesign documents (for example with new data from a database system) it migth be worth the efforts. Jo
