Reply To: Pros and Cons of Catalog Plug-Ins?

At this point we would not need to connect to the database. Specific data is pulled for each catalog, so straight Excell works best for us now.

I listen to you and Anne Marie all the time and love your podcasts. You guys ROCK! Actually, I am the InDesign Guru here because I listen to you.

I am a little hesitant to get a product that is all scripting because I would probably the only one (out of 10 designers here) willing to put in the brain power to learn the scripting. But then, if it can run 8,000 lines of data in 20 minutes, who cares? The 50 lines of test data I got formatted (with Joe Mathia's help) looks beautiful. So you think scripting is “not that hard”, what planet are you from?
