Am I missing something or am I expecting too much. I fully realize this may also fall under the "dumb question" category... but here it goes:

I have created a very simple template with three boxes and three sentences, one in each box. I created a tag for each box and sentence to simulate three para's in three boxes.

I exported the contents as XML and modified the exported sentences (very creative too "This is sentence one" etc.) so that when re-imported I knew the content placed properly. This process works fine and everything fell where it should.

Now, my application requires that I generate over 100 pages. So I take the XML export and duplicate some of the material and modify its content, careful to preserve the tags/structure.

Upon new import, InDe will not create extra text boxes to match the extra tags nor will it create extra pages. It will simply populate any apropriately tagged text-frames on the given pages. If I add more frames on new pages, content updates just fine. Excess simply shows up in the document structure window.

Am I really missing something or do I need to fire up VB and start iterating the doc-structure, adding the necessary frames for graphics and text (and also applying the character-level formatting).

Thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

PS. In my experience, I would be faster to iterate the XML externally and drive InDe than to read the next tag from InDe and direct the layout. Styled text would be faster here too...
