    I do a lot of directories that usually include imported text file with doctor listings (name, address, phone, etc.). Since ID5 I find that when importing text that runs any length at all, when I do an autoflow the program crashes. No matter how I try it. I can flow individual columns, but not autoflow the whole story. This became critical when I had to produce a 300 page directory in 48 hours. I spent a day trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Finally I exported the file out to an IDML file, opened it in ID4 and everything worked perfectly. Nothing changed within the file, just the ID version. Has anyone else run into this problem?

    I can't comment on why ID is crashing, but AutoFlow Pro might be of help (or might be over-kill for your needs)…

    I'll check it out, thanks. Could be useful, but I still want to find out why it doesn't work correctly if anybody has any ideas.
