I need to insert a single sheet from an Excel book. I need the sheet to flow across pages so copy and paste doesn’t work and importing file or inserting a text insert brings in all sheets in the Excel book. How can I insert a single sheet from the book?

Thank you for sharing your ideas. I can export with desired page breaks to separate PDF pages and import page by page.

If this is an on-going requirement, this could be automated with scripting. Can you post a screenshot of your Excel data? Thanks.

Yes, I wanted to do a text insert but there are 40 sheets in the book and cannot request a specific sheet.

IMO, the best way to bring Excel data into Frame (to use Frame table styles) is to save the worksheet as either CSV or tab-delimited. When you import the text into Frame, you can convert it to a table during import.

Maybe someday, Frame will learn a thing or two about Excel imports from InDesign...
