: I need to import [or place] a spreadsheet's worth of data into a book. : This book is a list of restaurants with address, hours, etc., about 20 fields' : entries, most are a Y/N entry [parking, reservations, patio], and one not : too long Comments field to sum up. I'd like to -- what, tag? -- preserve : the fields within each record in some way so that after I lay out a : master page, I can import/place the data and then the fields' entries will : line up where they ought to. Is this an impossible dream? HELP! : I'm a novice with PageMaker and Quark. Both might have some : capability to handle such a task, but I can't figure out how thus far. : I'm hoping NOT to to end up pasting and fiddling with every page's : [restaurant's] entry to jigger the bits of data into place. But I'm getting : discouraged... : The spreadsheet is only 136 entries long, but the prospect of copying & : pasting each netry to its page seems like the dumbest solution possible. : Anyone with expertise, please consider saving my life! : TIA, Al : [I can save the data as any form of database file as well, if it's easier.]
