When you go to the Build Page layout in Filemaker I have put all the corresponding names of the fields to select in Automator before the Action is triggered

Automator does take the text and the pictures from filemaker and drop them into InDesign. However, if you want to use one text box in InDesign to take several fields/actions (each with it's own style sheet) from filemaker it removes the text in the ID text box from the previous action. If the...

Something I just noticed. The Action only applies the style sheet from ID it does not apply the nested styles Cheers

Hi Again Filemaker seems ok and InDesign seems ok, I think it is Automator script where the trouble lies. Is it possible change the Automator Action to give a field in Filemaker the name of the nested style sheet in InDesign and apply that style sheet to text from that record only. This way it...

Hi Marcel I can safely say 'It's doing my head in' Please take a look at: http://www.agonyangel.co.uk/Automator/Automator.html See what you think Many thanks Peter

Hi Marcel I really appreciate the effort you are putting in to help me with my task. At the moment I am working on the Automator version because it seems easier. The XML way you described looks a better more flexible way of producint the layouts, I can get filemaker to do practically anything I...

Hi Marcel Thanks for that. On the Automator demo it shows on the picture box with options of how to fit the box. but on the downloaded version only has fit picture, which stretches the picture to fill the box box. I need the version that fits picture box without stretching. Do you know where I...

Because the amount of products used on each leaflet it changes the layout every time, there will be several templates to set up. Some of the products might have 3 or 4 variables for example strawberry jam, raspberry and marmalade. each of these would be a separate filemaker record for each jam...

Hi Marcel I'm nearly there! I have gone down the nested style sheets route (lots of them). With the Automator action I duplicate the text action several times and apply diferent nested style to each one. I use various drop down menus in Filemaker to filter the text so it leaves me with what I...

Hi Marcel Here is where I am at the moment but I can't continue until I know what direction to go: http://www.agonyangel.co.uk/automator/files.zip there is the Filemaker, InDesign and a few images enclosed. I just want to use the Automator actions as the files in the post above to place them...

Hi Marcel I appreciate your help. This is the automator action I am hoping to adapt: http://automator.us/examples-04.html I need to get price ticket layouts as this link and was hoping to get it by using only one text box and applying styles: http://www.agonyangel.co.uk/automator/example.jpg...

Thanks for your advice Marcel FindByChangeList sounds the better of the 2 options although not ideal. Is there no way I can take text within a frame and add three script numbers to the text within the frame, instead of adding one script number to a frame itself? Thanks again Peter

Hi, I want to import and format text from Filemaker into Indesignl on a Mac. I have found an Automator action to take both text and pictures from a filemaker database directly into an InDesign template. It uses a SKU identifier in Filemaker to select the text and drops it into a Text Frame...
