[Hidden-tech] Excel to InDesign line breaks

[Peter Chilton]

I am not sure I am following you but it sounds like you could use the “Data
Merge”.
It’s under “Utilities” in the Window menu. It has a little description of
how it works when you open the tool panel.

Good Luck!

Pete

I have an excel spreadsheet with 85 records. Each record has 21 fields. I
want to import or copy it into InDesign so that Field A prints on one line,
Field B on the next line, Fields C, D, and E on line 3, Field F on line 4,
Fields G, H, and I on line 5, etc.


I can find lots of information about line breaks within cells, but that is
not what I need. I need to trigger a line break between Fields A and B, B
and C, E and F when the file is copied into InDesign. Does anyone know how
to do this? It would save me hours of mind-numbing work!
