Reply To: Can InDesign import information from a text document automatically?

It's called “plain text”. ;)

No, InDesign cannot pull in plain (unformatted, untagged etc.) text automatically. You say you are copying one line at a time, and I think that says enough. Even if you select all text in the e-mail at once, then copy it and paste into your InDesign, that's not good enough, right? You have to paste each line at a special place?

InDesign can work with database formats — you might want to Google for “indesign data merge” — but that doesn't help you here, because you'd only move the same problem to another place.
