    Hi Matt, i guessed you would reply ... because i did skip some detail to make my solution easier to understand... i guess i did skip to much.. :) The solution i was gave was a way to colorize your text after you have done the data-merge. With data-merge you cannot (not that i know of) color...

    DataMerge and Scripting Question.

    Hi Matt, There is a way and it doesn't take much programming.. :) Indesign comes with an javascript with the name "FindChangeByList.jsx" (it can also be found on the CD) You can let this script do several find/replace automatically. Even GREP is possible. The script uses a text-file which...

    split a text box

    Hi Johnnie, You could do it with a table. But why not use a nested style ? Jimmy TAB August James TAB December Jimjam TAB March Use an different character style in front of the TAB this way it is much easer to line up every thing. And also to do later on some editing. Marcel

    Pagebrowsing in InDesign

    Hi Funky, It is a good alternative. Althought i don't know if you would leave it on the QuakXpress keyboard shortcuts. If you are thinking to switch to Indesign, it's best to learn the standard keyboard shortcuts. Ofcourse you can make your own shortcuts, you need. Marcel
