Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

I don't have InDesign, just looked into common programs to see if they can achieve what I need. Basically, I'm after dynamic text fields that can be populated by a spreadsheet - not merging a list of data.

(David in Яuislip) Thanks! that is probably the workaround I'll use for now 👍

Thanks for the reply! Seems quote a basic idea that is missing from most DTP packages I have looked into - even InD. The next best idea I have is data merge into a table on a single page - is that possible?

Can anyone suggest how I can have a master data source (pricing, for example), that I can populate text fields in Publisher (or Designer)? Data merge won't work. I need to have each field I choose in Publisher to reference a specific data source from a global price list. It seems to me to be a basic requirement for creating multiple product catalogues, but I can't find a solution. Many thanks! Marcus

I know there is a replace document dialogue, but i'm trying to replicate my old flow - motor memory and that!

As part of this work flow i can replace elements in inDesign by dragging in a new object on top of it - is there a similar method in Publisher?

Thanks a lot for the quick reply - I clicked on all those page box contents items except min/max(!) Brilliant, thank you.

Hello! I am replicating my workflow from InDesign to Publisher and have a questions about imported linked PDF files. I import lots of PDF objects onto a page and InDesign trims all the white space automatically (similar to Publisher's rasterise and trim). This is enormously helpful and I can't find an equivalent in Publisher - when you import a PDF it shows the original 'whole page' bounding box. I could use the vector trim tool manually, but would like to know if it can be performed automatically each time I place a PDF element on the page? I've attached screenshots comparing both.
