    There is a color code. But not in order. NO excel

    I have an old quarkxpress file with all stylesheets but thinking on recreate this in indesign for future use. We make changes every two months .


    Hi mannyb49081980 ,

    if you update the lists every two months I'd suggest you do an Excel list to bring order to the data.

    How to do this will depend on the features you can use with InDesign. And that will depend on the version of InDesign you are working with. What's your version of InDesign on what operating system? What's your version of Excel?

    How will you get updated information from the customer?

    Regards,

    Hm. What's the specific question?

    What did you try? Where did you fail or get stuck?

    Hi,

    is there a color code for the numbers in the first column?

    Say, 800 to 900 must be in blue, K-1 is in yellow etc.pp.

    Is there an Excel sheet with that information?

    Regards,
    Uwe
