Release: InData 3.5.5 for InDesign 2024-2026

This patch mainly addresses issues when importing directly from an Excel file.

Update

To update, download and install the latest version from the product’s installation section.

Changes

  • Preserves rich-text override formatting when importing data directly from Excel worksheets. Behind the scenes, InData uses XPress Tags to capture font, font size, and font face (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript, and subscript) changes where they differ from the cell’s base style (“Normal”, “Good” or “Bad,” for example). If any tags are inserted, InData forces defaultisstyled to true for the import such that all fields are «put», by default, as styled XPress Tags. If you have fields that need to ignore Rich Text, use «put nonstyled» for them in your prototype.
  • Fixes the disappearance of special characters (like bullets) when importing directly from an Excel file.
  • Fixes a problem introduced in the 3.5.1 release that could cause scripted imports to fail with a “[P19] This type of anchored item is not currently supported” error for prototypes containing anchored pictures (and other normally-recognized anchored items).
