After searching through the forums, I too have been left confused about how to actually get formatted text into different text boxes from an external source like a database.

I believe that tagged text is the way versus using XML, but I can't seem to find anyone talking about using VB to get tagged text into different text boxes.

My situation is not as complex as Oliver's, but my end goal feels very similiar. My goal is to store text in a database with some formatting (or even XML tags), convert the text to tagged text and then bring it into different text boxes in InDesign.

Thanks,
Ryan
