    I'll soon be undertaking work on an extensive technical catalogue of some 15-20k items which we estimate will cover 300 A4 pages and involve many, many tables of very dry product information (weight, length, price etc). I understand there are lots of things to help with this – such as data merge and table styles etc. – but are there any guidelines or tutorials for good practice in approaching something like this?

    Essentially, how do I make a loads of tables not look boring? And, aside from table styles, what else can I do to minimise the impact of the inevitable changes which will occur as the project progresses?

    Cheers!

    Updating information in tables is notoriously painful in InDesign. Not so bad when you have one or two tables, but when you have hundreds…? Oy. Here are a couple links that might help:
