Reply To: Using InDesign for Proposals (workflow)

I wonder if it might make sense to have the engineers change up their workflow so that they are using Google Docs or Google Sheets instead of Word. You could then use a plug-in like EasyCatalog to flow data directly from Google Sheets into InDesign.

Another potential solution would be WordsFlow. I haven’t used it much personally but I hear that it does some amazing things when it comes to linking content from Word files in an InDesign document.

Both of these tools allow you to update the data in place from within InDesign so that your InDesign document will always reflect the latest changes to the data.
