I am creating a document that needs to be customized for a list of people that will be in an Excel or CSV format. After I design the document, I want to be able to customize each one for each of the names in the Excel document. If I put place holder information on the document, like {name}, is there an easy way to script it so that it will replace {name} with the first instance in the xls file and then export a pdf and then do the second name, export, etc?

I am using Indesign 2.0.2 on Apple OS X 10.2.6. Does anyone know of a good apple script for doing this?

Thanks,

Brent
