Can anyone give me a clue as to how to use the ExcelImportPreference
and Place commands?  VBA would be great.  The documentation doesn't
give any examples, and my google searches have been fruitless so far
figuring out how to use these features.

It looks like to script the excel table imports, you have to know the
sheet names and the ranges; when I try to place an excel table with a
place command Indesign complains about the lack of an import filter,
but danged if I can figure out how to set one up in VBA.
