In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Nolan Haims shows us how to update an Excel chart and have it update in InDesign… all while juggling. Yes, juggling! Taken from the InDesign Secrets Holiday Special, he explains how he edits an Excel chart that updates in InDesign, with a little help from PowerPoint!
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
