Adobe InDesign/Indesign - import text

Advertisement


Question
I have a single word document that has many written comments from various individuals - each separated by a single return space. I wish to import the text into Indesign so each comment is split automatically into separate text frames, without having to copy and paste each comment. Is this possible?

Answer
Not really.

I guess you cut and paste the text into a table that you make in word, or from an excel chart, then import....but it would be just as easy to cut and paste.

You can always put the text into a table that you can create in Indesign.
