We're happy to announce that the InData 3/4.1.3 beta 2 release is  
available with the following feature additions and bug fixes:

* Added support for XPress Tagged data fields when used in  
conjunction with our Xtags for InDesign plug-in (versions 3.0.2b2 and  
4.0.2b2 or later). Whether tags are treated as InDesign tags (the  
default) or XPress Tags is controlled by a new "Styled text contains"  
setting in the General Preferences dialog (InData > Preferences >  
General...).

XPress Tags handling is currently limited to character and paragraph  
settings; Xtags tags which create and group frames, etc., are not  
supported at this time.

Note that you'll have to have the Xtags for InDesign plug-in  
installed to use the "Styled text contains: XPress Tags" preference.

* Added "Line feed in data becomes" entry to the Data Preferences  
dialog in order to support Microsoft Excel/Windows-generated  
snapshots containing multi-line cells where a LF (#10) is used as a  
line break. (Oddly, Excel/Mac uses a CR (#13) in the same situation.)  
This setting defaults to "Nothing" to remain backwards compatible and  
should be changed when working with Excel/Windows snapshots.

* Fixed a long-standing problem where an empty picture path (in a  
"set filename of picture" statement, for example) could trigger a  
crash if the picfolders list happened to contain an entry lacking a  
terminating folder separator.
