Hello Framers,

I'm trying to convert some FrameMaker files to InDesign via XML. Pretty good
results so far, except that I get a carriage return at the end of each line
when I place the XML in InDesign. Is it Frame or InDesign that's inserting
these carriage returns and, more importantly, how can I avoid this?

Hi Yves

InDesign XML import is sensitive to carriage-return types. To the best of my recollection, it imports fine with Mac carriage-returns but doesn't like PC/Unix ones. Or it may just be that each version likes the carriage-return convention associated with the platform it lives on.

Like Mark Poston, we found the InDesign XML import fairly rubbish and resorted to converting from XML to InDesign tags, which worked well and reliably.
