    (CS3) Updating a placed excel file ignores the cell range set up when placing it

    Mike.Edel Community Member

      Hi all,


      we have placed and formatted (complex) Excel files and are running into problems when updating them:

       

      We had to use a manual cell range when placing because there are unwanted lines on top of the table.

      When we update the links, InDesign is completely ignoring the cell range and placing the worksheet we chose from A1 to wherever it happens to end.

      This of course completely messes up our table formatting and defeats the whole purpose of having it linked.

       

      It would help a lot if we could get around that behavior.

       

      Does anyone have an idea?

       

      Thanks,

       

      Mike
