From emma.glaisher at fourninety.com Tue Sep 11 05:00:42 2007 From: emma.glaisher at fourninety.com (Emma Glaisher) Date: Tue Sep 11 05:04:19 2007 Subject: [EmData] Looking ahead several records Message-ID: I?m developing an XData prototype to produce a bathroom fittings catalogue. The data is supplied in Excel. My problem arises when a product is available in a range of finishes ? e.g. White, Green, Brown. The products are each listed on a separate line, but when it is printed, the ?finishes? appear in the heading with the prices beneath each, so: Product Ref Description White Brown Green 10501 36 x 38 x 22cm ?65.00 ?65.00 ?65.00 while the data will be more like (this is simplified version!): 10501 36 x 38 x 22cm ?65 White 10501 36 x 38 x 22cm ?65 Brown 10501 36 x 38 x 22cm ?65 Green In the smallish sample of data they?ve supplied, the descriptions and prices are the same for all finishes, but I suspect the prices may not always be! I?m using boxes, rather than Quark tables, so that everything (including images) can flow in as a single story. But how can I get it to look ahead ?x? records to check if the description is the same and if so pick up a ?future? colour and put it into the heading. I?ve a nasty feeling I might have to end up copying records into variables until I get to the ?end? of a product range. I already have a variable in as some ranges require a ?footnote? which is supplied with the first of the range but doesn?t appear until after the last. Anyone done anything like this?

I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem and (hopefully) resolved it: I need to create a story that allows text wrap around a right-cornered art slick. That isn't the difficulty. The rub is when the text and art are run into a multi-column InDesign template which has vertically justified columns, I cannot maintain the text wrap around the art. I've compensated for this in the past by writing object and paragraph styles to secure anchor styles in-column, but even these are overridden by "Ignore Text Wrap" which is required to employ vertical justification. Does InData have a workaround for what appears to be an incontrovertible InDesign flaw? Or am I condemned to manual text wrapping?

InDesign's Custom Anchored Object features would be helpful, but, unfortunately, InData does not support these. Sorry the news isn't better...

You would need to set the field with a ?put styled? statement, or use the ?set defaultisstyled to true? statement. Does this help?
