Hello Framers, I have had considerable sucess using FrameScript to import Excel data into FrameMaker. Here is a workflow example:
1) Put the insertion point in a paragraph. 2) Choose FrameScript > Import Table. You will be prompted for a spreadsheet file (*.xls). 3) You will be prompted with a list of all the worksheets in the spreadsheet. Select the one you want to insert. The data is inserted in a fully-formatted FrameMaker table. You can continue to edit and update the data in Excel. To update the corresponding FrameMaker tables, you choose FrameScript > Update Tables and all of the tables are updated with the latest spreadsheet data. This is only one example of what can be done; the process can be automated further. If you have any interest in an Excel to FrameMaker workflow, please contact me offlist with your specific requirements. Thank you very much.
