      We have a complex report that we want to make visual. Basically, its a set of 236 reports, each one of which will have multiple logos (anywhere from 10 to 100) that we need flowed into one page. The data is managed in Access and exported to Excel. Does anyone know of a script or process that can make this easy?

      Data publishing is rarely “easy” but the Data Merge feature in InDesign can do wonders. I did a course on it a few years ago:

      There are lots of commercial plug-ins for InDesign that take data publishing to a higher level, including DataLinker, EasyCatalog, Cacidi LiveMerge and others. It all depends on how complex the job is.
