Importing a sheet of an Excel table

Hi Framers, Is there a way (plug-in) to import a specific sheet of an Excel table into FrameMaker 7.2? I've got spare parts lists in multiple languages, one language per sheet in 1 Excel file, 1 Excel file per product. I'd like to import the English sheet in my English user guide, the German

FM8.0-PDF files with cross-file links: Reader 8 (Windows) required

Cross-file links in PDFs authored in FrameMaker 8.0 use Unicode-encoded file paths and file names, which are only supported in Windows Acrobat/Reader 8.x (MacOS Acrobat/Reader 7.x or later; I don't have info for Unix Reader versions). As a result, cross-file links are not functional when the

Re: Inconsistency problem

You need to make sure that all the files in the book have the same conditional text settings (and the same print setting for the color black). I'm not sure how to sort out the color black, but for the conditional text, the easiest is to get it right in one file then import the formats into all
