    I’m so glad that you’ve enjoyed our podcasts!

    I believe that what that accessibility advisor was trying to say is that Adobe Acrobat is not very accessible. So even if you have a very accessible PDF file, the software itself can’t do much with it. But there are many other PDF readers that are designed to “read” the accessibility inside PDF files.

    That said, there is no doubt that reflowable EPUB is much better for allowing people to increase the text size!

    I would agree with Loic.

    InDesign by itself does not have any good way to linking with individual Excel cells like you’re describing.

    But note that even if you can script a solution or find a plug-in or XML or whatever, it will be essential that the data be VERY precisely maintained. Database publishing requires precision and reliable consistency. If all you can get is a little data here and a little data there, and it’s all very fluid and inconsistent from year to year… there’s just no way to automate that.

    I have not heard that EPUB is better at accessibility than PDF. That would be interesting. PDF has a large amount of tagging options. However, EPUB is basically HTML, so I suppose there are a lot of options there, too.

    If you upgrade/subscribe to CC, you can get download any version of CC, including 2015.

    Wow! That is cool, but I haven’t seen anything that can produce that. If it involves Hebrew, I would check with Harbs at in-tools.com to see if he has any suggestions.

    Please describe “interlinear texts” or provide links to examples.

    I wonder if you’re using some third-party plug-in for importing text, such as Xtags (emsoftware.com). Are you saying that you can open the old InDesign files in your current version of InDesign and import the text and it works, but it doesn’t work with new files?

    How sure are you that the exported data hasn’t changed?

    Tagged Text is a pain, to be honest, and no longer well supported in InDesign. Most people who want to do database publishing use some other tool, such as Data Merge or free scripts based on data merge, or a more expensive solution such as InData or EasyCatalog. I talk about that in detail in my lynda.com course on the subject.

    The only thing I can think of is that maybe the Scope pop-up menu and buttons are set wrong.

    No way to change the default behavior. But you can do it manually by pressing Command/Ctrl – plus or minus, which zooms out or in. Or, if you’re already at 100%, you could just press Cmd-1, or if you’re at 200% you can press Cmd-2. That centers the selection point on the screen (not the object).
