> What we do here is take let's say 100 products which include the > image, descriptions, and all the corresponding sizes or colors in a > table, and export from a filemaker database and then import into > Frame. Frame streams all the information into the template -- all 100 > products -- where we then lay them out in the template. I can then > take each individual product and apply a straddle here, resize a > table there, etc. Each product is its own entity within frame. > If I do the exact same import into InDesign, all 100 products become > just one large text block and they lose their individuality and thus > I lose the ability to design each prouct. > Can that individuality somehow be maintained with ID??? Plugins > perhaps??? > With InDesign, you might want to take a slightly different approach and look at EmSoftware.com plug-ins: InData and InCatalog. (InCatalog can even maintain a "live" link to your database.)
