Is it possible to link to the .doc files as I would image help to merge the data from the files?

I'm trying to find a way where I can link to multiple documents in a master document. I know how to put Word/Excel files in InDesign-related, but is there a way I could build a document using data merge? I guess I want a link to every document in my CSV, possibly with a @ column header. Has anyone tried this before with any success?

I have trouble understanding exactly what it is you want to try and do.

Regarding the data merge, the answer is no. When a header field which has a "@" before the domain name, InDesign data merge function will import images that are people like .jpg, .tif, .eps .gif .pdf .png .ai; but will not import content such as .docx .doc .rtf or .txt. It is worth noting the help that Adobe (InDesign help |) Data merge) does not list what types of images will import as part of a data merge. Another additional note - if import a PDF or AI is many pages long as part of the merger of data, the merger will take only the first page of the PDF / I, and it is not a way to make the merger import a different page.

If you want to import a large number of word files in an InDesign file all at once in the same block of text, I wrote a piece about it on InDesignSecrets: http://indesignsecrets.com/place-word-files-one-frame.php

  • Is it possible to link content between indesign files separated?

    I have a catalog project that I work on every two years. Each year the customer request I take pages 73-79 and renumber 1-7. There is no problem in the document that I made for her. The spreads are split and the pages renumbered.

    However, each time, we will change these pages, and I have to copy/paste the content in. I would remove the possibility of error. I don't want to miss an update because I did not select the entire document.

    So is it possible to say, link to a section of images and content so that they essentially reflect the other Document A of Document b?

    Thanks for any assistance!

    Don't know what version of ID that you are using, but if it's enough, new look in the content tool Collector. It gives you a place and link, function that does what you want as possible.

  • Smartphones blackBerry how to transfer all the data from my BlackBerry/Outlook to new computer

    Nice day

    I am currently using a Torch 9800 on my old Dell using Microsoft Outlook 2003.  I just bought a new Dell computer and installed Microsoft Office 2010 with Outlook.  I would like to transfer all my data from my BlackBerry Torch / Outlook to my new computer.

    Can I install BlackBerry desktop on my new computer and just sync with my flashlight or do I make a back-up to my old computer and restore the backup file to my new computer?

    Thank you.

    It depends on what everything you want moved. You can google for more information about how to transfer all your Outlook, including mail settings and all of your PIM data.

    If it's just the calendar, tasks and address book data, then if your BB has everything you want on it, then you can install BDS on the new computer and set up a synchronization one-way system your BB to Outlook to transfer everything in the new perspective. Once it is on both devices settings of two-way synchronization.

    I would like to make a backup of your BB before you do any synchronization to a new computer, just in case where you screw up the sync and removes the BB PIM data.

  • Is it possible to change the link to the WMP to Play/Pause/Stop buttons

    Is it possible to change the link to the WMP to play/Pause and the Stop button?
    Because network alone and media buttons can be changed by the software.
    And I'd rather not WMP for my favorite media player.

    Unfortunately, the buttons are configured with WMP (if the CD is inserted) and WinDVD (if the DVD is inserted).
    I guess that you can not use buttons with 3rd party applications.

  • Is it possible to link the CTI to a nested sequence?

    I have a nested sequence, and I want to change the position of the keyframes based on what is on the main sequence. I'd like to be able set up the ICT in the main sequence, then go to the nested sequence and have the ICT at the same position, then make the change.

    The way I did it is to calculate the time elapsed since the beginning of the nest in the main sequence and then go to the nested sequence and the displacement of the ICT at that precise moment. Shortly.

    Is it possible to link the CTI to a nested sequence? i.e. everywhere where ICT appears in the main sequence, when you go to the nested sequence, ICT is in the same position.

  • Can I create a slide show of slider/image carousel with the possibility for the links and the widths of the image to an Adobe program variable and then place in Muse

    Hello

    I really hope someone can help me with a project that led to drive me to despair.

    I'll put up an online art gallery, last year, I used Wix to create a site (explorersglobalfineart.com). Initially, I thought it was a good idea that I could build the mobile site with the site of the office. It turns out that features model are appalling and every time I add a new page I have to reinstall everything on the mobile site.

    In the last month, I've searched Adobe Muse. I started to build the site map and added to the artist page, but there are pages on the current site which have a slider carousel with the possibility for widths of the variable image and links that I cannot emmualte in Muse - http://www.explorersglobalfineart.com/#! Asia/cfvg

    Is there an Adobe program that I can use to create a cursor image carousel with the ability to tie and use images with varying widths which is compatible with Adobe Muse?

    Thank you very much

  • Is it possible to link an image resized without having adapt automatically to the original image?

    I have two Adobe illustrator images that are very similar, the first is 5 inches wide the second to replace is 3 inches. I just place and put the image in InDesign, but I had to change forms and thicknesses as certain proportions of the image would be just too small.

    When I create a link to the file it is changing the image to adapt the existing framework of the largest. Is it possible the file repeat keeping the content of the new file to 100%. I know that I can use the grabber content to see how the content has been developed on the scale and fix it, but it's not boring where you will need to select "adjust the framework to settle later. InDesign, AFAIK, does give no warning to tell you than an image when relinked has been stretched to fit the image.

    -Thank you

    It is in the application, under file management preferences. Check or uncheck the box to preserve Image Dimensions when reissue of links. When checked, the relinked image will be adjusted to the same dimensions as the old version (possibly distorted). When not checked, the new image will come with the same scale as the original factor, that resembles what you want in this case for me but I am not sure (this is often true for .ai files where it is made a change that moves an element, that affect the bounding box art and you have trimmed to art or bounding box rather than media).

    Sometimes, if what you want is a 100% zoom it's just easier to put the new image on the editing table and place it in position, remove the old.

  • IS THIS POSSIBLE AND IF YES COLOR 'HOW' TO HAVE DIFFERENT LINKS ON THE SAME PAGE?

    Hello

    IS THIS POSSIBLE AND IF YES COLOR 'HOW' TO HAVE DIFFERENT LINKS ON THE SAME PAGE?

    How to replace the color of Page link?

    See you soon,.

    Dreamer101.1

    Yes, it is possible, using CSS.

    Here's how. You already know that the link colors are set in the following css rules:

    • a: link
    • a: active
    • a: visited
    • a: hover

    All you have to do to have another set of links of different colors is to create another set of rules that set different colors and also have different names:

    • a.name1:link
    • a.name1: active
    • a.name1:visited
    • a.name1:hover

    Can link you these rules to the anchor as a class tag: something.

    You can have as many sets of rules to link given that the names you can think of.

    Happy linking!

  • Is it possible to disable the "edit layout" link on the Details page for the record

    Is it possible to disable the "edit layout" link on the Details page for the record? Not home pages, I know there is a switch for that, but I thought that it was one for the detail pages?

    I want to disable what I don't want users who record their own layouts, they stick to the related sections defined in the default layout. The problem is that if they want to have access to some lists associated with when the opportunity is of a certain type, but NOT other types. If they saved the page layout (using the "Change layout" link) and change the record type, they will see the related provisions that were set to "Not available" in the default layout (IE step 4) for this 'type '.

    Robbo, for now it is not possible to disable the page layout to change the Registration Details page.
