I saved a spreadsheet database as xml. There are only 4 fields of which I tagged the text frames. I don't know exactly what it means by putting the root element tag on the frame. I just dropped it on the page. I also tried putting the root tag on each placeholder tag. That seems to cover up the tag. In any case, I did the import and I do not see all the signs created. The document I want merged with all the rows of fields in the database to create many signs using just the product names, amounts, etc. My problem is I do not see where the new Indesign signs are created. I see the import. I see the placeholders. The XML structure pane etc. I have my database saved as XML. What do I do to get the output ( new signs created for marketing)? Thanks,
