• Linked excel tables in InDesign CS5 update problems and keep the formatting: need help

  I've been using excel to place several tables in my InDesign CS5 document which will require the update on a regular basis. The tables are already formatted in excel, so I will place in InDesign with formatting and you will usually have to reduce proportionally the tables as soon as they are in InDesign CS5. When I'll update the links, it is important the content of the tables as part of current text with larger text and I am unable to "Insert the picture content" or "shrink content proportionally." Nobody knows how to solve this problem or know of another way to link excel with formatting tables and update without having to reformat the table (i.e. to resize the image and text) every time that happens an update? Thank you!!

  Can't do it, sorry. Tables only.

• Link Excel to InDesign

  We are currently trying to 'automate' a process at work and I'm looking for a way to link a spreadsheet Excel in InDesign (or any product Adobe also), but we need in a unique way, and I'm having a hard time finding answers on how or if this is possible.

  

  The image above is an example page of what we need. We have companies that come to us for estimates or quotes, and an another spreadsheet excel file is created for each company. We need to tell InDesign (or any program) to automatically link to a spreadsheet and it shoots cell C7 to complete when indicated, C8 to fill place indicated and so on. Thus, it is not as a merger and mailing or to link an Excel file that we want to update when the excel file is updated. We have very specific information that we need in some places. Any suggestions of how we can go about automating this process somehow using the Adobe Suite?

  I'm sorry if my first answer was terse and seemingly contrary to your specfication of "is not as a merge and merge."

  I still think that the fusion of data is your best bet, with a fusion of one record.

  You have to structure your spreadsheet such that all the fields are in the same line (you may need a new worksheet in the same workbook). But this isn't a problem. Then you export this spreadsheet to CSV/TSV.

  Then, you can configure the data against a single file merge and also long names of fields of domain names are identical, you can change the Data Source and you will get new data. Why this solution is annoying? Yes, you must save as Excel and InDesign does not "autoupdate", but he does ' t look like these are the feature you need anyway.

  There is also an XML-based solution. You can mark text with XML tags, and then you can save Excel to Excel XML. Then, you can use an XML translation tool (XSLT, for example) to convert the spreadsheet AS XML in an XML formatted for InDesign, with fields appropriate tag the same tags you used in InDesign. Then you can import the XML file and the data will be inserted in the fields.

  Third, there is the solution of pure script. A script that puts the Excel file in InDesign as a table (because it's the only portable way to read data from an Excel in InDesign; while in Windows, you can use VBA to talk to Excel and read the data and I guess you could do something with Applescript as well, but it would be less clean) then reads the selected table cells and put them in different blocks of text that are marked with script tags indicating that they are getting the data of various cells. There is more development work and could possibly give a smoother workflow, but it seems worth on the solution of merge data.

  I guess the fourth solution is a plugin. I'm not aware of a plugin that takes care of this particular problem, but as it is degenerated to a data merge, it is probably also the degenerate case of a catalog such as a cataloguing as EmData plugin or smart catalog can help out you. But it seems like waaaay overkill and it cost 3 digits (and more).

• Table linked Excel. Convert commas in points

  See this thread:

  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/903846?TSTART=0

  I set up a GREP search in accordance with the instructions of the Haakenlid to the post 11. It works fine:

  _____

  Find three numbers preceded by a comma:

  ,(\d{3})
  

  Replace by a point ("or better IMO one fixed breaking no space," "~ s" in GREP InDesign notation)

  .$1
  

  _____

  Now I'm wondering if it can be turned into a script that can be added to this script (below) which removes the cell INSET so that the operation can be made with a single script.

  I have no experience with scripting, if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

  _____

  DESCRIPTION: Updates the linked tables and resets the INSET top and bottom of cells

  /*

  In this test, I realized there are ways that one associated Excel sheet

  will be automatically updated (in fact, I was unable to persuade ID do not update the link so)

  I have not actually tested the branch where the link is updated, but I used

  This syntax before on the linked graphics, so it should work).

  Thus, the script corrects overlays on each associated if Excel sheet or not his

  link needs updating. He does not see even from unrelated tables.

  */

  myDoc = app.activeDocument;

  myLinks = myDoc.links;

  myLim = myLinks.length;

  for (i = myLim - 1; i > = 0; i--) {}

  If (.linkType myLinks [i] == "Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Import Filter") {}

  If (myLinks [i] .needed) {}

  myLinks [i] .update ();

  }

  Whether or not we have updated, correct the INSET because it could have been an automatic update

  myTable = myLinks [i].parent.tables [0];

  myTable.cells.everyItem () .bottomInset = 0;

  myTable.cells.everyItem () .topInset = 0;

  }

  }

  That should do it

  //DESCRIPTION: Updates any linked tables and resets top and bottom insets of cells
  
   /*
  
    In testing this, I realized that there are many ways that a linked Excel sheet
  
    will auto update (in fact, I was unable to persuade ID not to update the link so
  
    I haven't actually tested the branch where the link is updated, but I have used
  
    that syntax before on linked graphics, so it ought to work).
  
    So, the script fixes the insets on every linked Excel sheet whether or not its
  
    link needs updating. It does not even see unlinked tables.
  
   */
  myDoc = app.activeDocument;
  
  myLinks = myDoc.links;
  
  myLim = myLinks.length;
  
  for (i = myLim - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
  
   if (myLinks[i].linkType == "Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Import Filter") {
  
    if (myLinks[i].needed) {
  
     myLinks[i].update();
  
    }
  
    // Whether or not we updated, fix insets because there might have been an auto update
  
    myTable = myLinks[i].parent.tables[0];
  
    myTable.cells.everyItem().bottomInset = 0;
    myTable.cells.everyItem().topInset = 0;
  
    // changes thousand separators from commas to periods in every cell in the table
    app.findGrepPreferences = null;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ",(\\d{3})";
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = ".$1";
    myTable.changeGrep();
  
   }
  
  }

  Access to external Sites

  External candidates, by definition, do not have the nicknames PeopleSoft. To allow external users access to a site, you put a link to the site on a location such as your public Web site. The site definition includes a field to set the URL of this external link.

  Deployed in this mode, the instance of PeopleSoft to be accessed by external users must have the appropriate security settings to allow users to bypass the access code. In other words, a user who clicks on the link is not presented with a PeopleSoft signon pages but is instead signed the using a user ID generic comments so that the user can be taken directly to the candidate Gateway.

  If an external candidate allows a more inactive candidate gateway session that the timeout you set, the default system behavior is to provide a link to the login page of PeopleSoft with the visible invited user ID.  According to your logic of password, the guest user ID might be locked if the applicant tries in vain to connect. For more security and ease of use, replace the code page to a page that displays an appropriate message.   For example, to display a message that the session has expired and provide a link back to the bridge of the candidate.

• Table linked Excel. Points between thousands.

  I have a linked Excel file that displays the points between thousands and a comma for decimals.

  This is how it is supposed to be; I work a Nordic language.

  However when I place columns of the Excel file as links in InDesign points convert commas and vice versa.

  I thought InDesign was supposed to preserve the formatting of bound data, but it's not.

  What should I do to correct this?

  Steve fairbairn says:

  Thank you, but I do not know if this solves the problem, unless it can be script. Because if not, this means any time to update the Excel file all these manual corrections get wiped out and I have to redo them everywhere.

  Fact \d indicate a number only? Of course, there are a lot of ordinary commas in the body of the text that I don't want to change.

  You must run it whenever you update the document. \d show only numbers. Try the grep search and you will see how it works.

  It can easily be scripted and added to the script that you already use. Post your cell phone embedded script in the InDesign Scripting sub-forum, and we will help you.

  But what I really want to do is to prevent the points converted to commas in the first place.

  I agree. But it seems that Excel-import InDesign is not customizable like that, or designed for internationalization.

• Need help in providing an interface for drive HARD Toshiba MK2035GSS

  Hello, is there anyone who can (and want) to help by providing an interface (e-card) or a functional HDD full, with following specifications:

  Toshiba mk2035gss
  hdd2a30 zw01 s c

  The part number is irrelevant, because under the same code p/n, Toshiba distributes hdd different types with the same capacity.
  I need to recover data from a failed hard drive, it seems that only the circuit board has been affected by an external power supply (probably) faulty suply.

  As a matter of fact, the HARD drive is under warranty, but recovery of the info is (as usual) more important than losing the warranty.

  I tried very hard to find a similar pattern, but it seems that this drive is a single (probably specifically made for me, to make me hate my luck :(
  Even on ebay, there are 2 models that are very close, but not this one.

  If you could help, please contact me by e-mail at [email protected]

  Thank you very much

  Costin.

  I don't know what must be unique on this Toshiba HDD.
  Is there a difference when compared with similar hard drives produced by different manufacturers?

  Have you tried to talk with the Toshiba authorized service provider? Maybe they have a good idea of how to help.

• Is there a way to link the State buttons?

  

  Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to bind the State buttons to activate their steady state together. For example, when the 'Pioneers of Design' link is hovered over, it turns red and links to another page. The yellow image loses the white opaque screen 25% top when it is steady-state and also links to the same page. The two are in separate State buttons. Is there a way to link the two so that when I hover over the image the screen disappears, but also flushed the pioneers link at the same time and vice versa during the overflight of the pioneers link? I know that both can be assembled into a button of the State, but this means that the huge gap between the image and the text would create the hover state as apposed to single during the overflight of one or the other. In addition, I don't know what will happen, because the text links remain fixed when scrolling and the image links are not. Is there a way to do what I'm talking about? Thank you.

• is there a faster way to install Excel add-in for Essbase 11.1.1.3?

  Hello
  Is there a faster way to install Excel add-in for Essbase 11.1.1.3?
  We have a lot of Essbase users and I do not install install Hyperion, followed by the installation of assemblies, the Services of the Foundation and, finally, Excel Add-in.
  (Here is another pain in the installation of several assemblies...
  Re: Microsoft Excel Add-in to the 11.1.1.1.x version )

  Usually the excel add-in has been backwards compatible, I have not tried all the features, but what I used seems to be ok.
  Although do not blame me if everything does not work :)

  See you soon
