Tilo-- re: "It sounds similar to the MIF Format (Maker Interchange Format) for FrameMaker." It is similar. re: "This would allow to build whole documents outside of InDesign in XML and then to open them in InDesign. This should be much faster than scripting!!!" It'll be a great adjunct to scripting, for sure! But...see below. re: "Is there a documentation about this format?" This format is not documented or supported in this release. It's not what I'd call "human readable" either--it's a bit baroque. I have successfully transformed them using XSL (to do some simple data merging stuff), but that's about as far as I've gone. re: "Can the import / export of .INX Files be scripted?" You just use the "open" to open them. Sadly, .inx export is not yet supported by scripting. Thanks, Ole
