Reply To: XML to InDesign in tabulated form

Hello and warm greetings to all of you.

I was away from my computer from the last four days due to some medical urgency, but now I’m back with a boom.

@David, I gone through your title on Data Merge and it was excellent. I was missing some of the bits which got answers very well. I already had the “inlineMerge.jsxbin” script with me. Since I was unaware about its use, I have kept it in the ‘To Delete’ folder. I never realized it could be so excellent script, thanks to ozalto.com for sharing it free. Now the script is in my Working Scripts folder.

I can’t understand why Adobe people don’t think this way. Why is there a third party help needed for some basic tasks. These free scripts have made Data-Merge a great tool to use and I suggest Adobe should include these in its next edition.

@Mike, Thanks a lot for reminding me the process.

After troubleshooting on the subject I went through various processes and somehow I achieved this with the help of my colleague #Mohit Dhiman. I have created a small video (without audio) to understand what I did and hope this will help others to learn.

@Jay, I hope this will help you up to some extent.

@David, can you write a workflow on this and post it on the site. I wish to have an in-depth tutorial on the same by someone specialized in xml

I also came to know a title on Lynda “https://www.lynda.com/Design-tutorials/Creating-InDesign-Booklet-Using-XML/435134-2.html”, and hope to go through it soon.
