The data isn't in XML already, its actually in a legacy database that can export to tab or comma delinated files, so going to excel and/or access is pretty easy. Is it possible for tagged text to go into separate text frames for each item? With XML I have all the relevant boxes for an item tagged as that item, and then fields within those boxes as elements. Would something similar to this be possible with tagged text? From what I've read it just applies includes formatting with the text as well, which I can automate with ID's Tags to Styles feature. Heading to the Micosoft Forums now.
