Import multiple Word docs to multiple pages with same master page?

Jun 10, 2011 11:55 AM

Hi again, I seem to have a new question every day. Sorry about that!

Today it is related to importing MS Word files.

I have set up a master page with three linked text boxes. Right now, I use Cmd+D to select a word file, and then Shift+click in the first box to place the text on the page. But I have 125 pages that are exactly the same layout, just different Word files to be imported. I could repeat this process 125 times, but I am wondering if there is a way to tell InDesign to create 125 pages using Master Page X and import one file for each?

Thanks,

This is probably best answered in your scripting forum post: Import multiple Word docs to multiple pages with same master page?

Best to let us know when you decide it's better to post in another venue so you don't get two seperate sets of non-communicating answers.
