Copying table data (including images) from InDesign to Excel (or other format such as RTF)

Hi,
We've got a problem trying to get data from InDesign over to Excel.
There's this pricelist in InDesign, with images and small "icons" (also images) that indicate which item is displayed as the main image for each row in the table. Each "table row" can contain a number of items, separated by Carriage Return + Line Feed or similar combination.
The problem is that we can't get good data and images to appear in any other editable format. Copying and Pasting directly into Excel has yet been the most successful, but there the images are lost. Exporting to PDF and from Acrobat Pro exporting to other formats always seem to fail in one way or another (tables are put on top of each other, images lost and so on, different for different export formats).
The data copied to OpenOffice Calc (then saved as an excel format file). Yellow areas added to show where the images were in InDesign.
Prices blurred in the illustrating image above.
Are there any good ideas how to copy the InDesign table to another editable format (that doesn't require Adobe licenses...)?
Thanks,
Andreas

I had not noticed the direct export from InDesign to RTF. You had to put the cursor inside the story to make that option appear!
It looks really good, and I've sent the result on, to the ones who are going to use it, for them to check whether it's good enough, and if they can take it on to excel or work with it in the RTF format as it is.
Thank you so much for pointing out this option!

    any help would be most appreciated as i have been trying for the last 4 hours
    margaret

    Copy and paste? What app are you using?
    When you tap on an image and select copy that usually copies the URL of the image.
    Save image copies the image to your Camera Roll.
    Most apps have an Insert choice that inserts an image from your Camera Roll into the document you are working on.
    But if you tell us which app you are using, we should be able to provide more exact info on how to get done what you want.

    Hi,
    Can any one provide solution for export image from webi to excel( 3.1 & 4.0).
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    given link(https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1299111) is not working.
    the above link contain
    Symptom
    Unable to Export images from a Web Intelligence report to Microsoft Excel.
    A Web Intelligence report is created using images to denote alerts. The report works OK in Web Intelligence but when exported to Microsoft Excel, the images do not display.
      Environment  
    Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
    Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1
      Reproducing the Issue  
    Create a simple Web Intelligence document.
    Add a blank cell and within that cell link it to an image. (Either set as background for the cell or Image URL.)
    Save and export to Excel. The image will not be displayed.
    Cause
    Web Intelligence export engine does not support the export of images to excel.
    Resolution
    In BI4.0, Web Intelligence export engine does support the export of images to excel.
    Workaround 1 :
    Most image formats are supported in PDF export. Users may be able to use that as an alternative.
    Workaround 2 :
    If images are required in the final Excel document, the user would need to recreate those image links manually in Excel.

  • Table data in Indesign - XML, Excel or other?

    Hi
    We are setting up a document that will include a lot of tables for a range of different products.
    The last 2 columns in the tables are for prices and delivery. We need to be able to increase the prices in the Indesign tables easily as and when we need to as the prices increase/decrease for products.
    The increase will most likely be global and by a certain percentage.
    How would we set up the tables/data to be able to do this?
    I'm guessing some kind of external file is fed into Indesign, like XML or Excel, so we can change the prices externally and they are then 'pulled' into Indesign.
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance

  • Copying table data accross a dblink using dbms_datapump

    Hi Friends,
    I need to copy a table data accross a dblink into another table of same structure.
    There is a requirement to use 10g dbms_datapump package to copy the data.
    The problem is that I can export into a dump file and then import it into the other database, But we do not need the dump file. We need directly exportimg and simultaneously importing into the table through dblink without generating the intermediate dump file.
    If any one have a sample code or document link, Please do help.

    But the application we have that uses the database cannot be changed to read from a CLOBWhy can't you change the application?
    Well, anyway you should point out to your superiors that Oracle documented years ago to not use LONGS anymore...
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/datatype.htm#sthref3806
    It clearly states:
    LONG Datatype
    Note:
    Do not create tables with LONG columns. Use LOB columns (CLOB, NCLOB) instead. LONG columns are supported only for backward compatibility.
    Oracle also recommends that you convert existing LONG columns to LOB columns. LOB columns are subject to far fewer restrictions than LONG columns. Further, LOB functionality is enhanced in every release, whereas LONG functionality has been static for several releases.
    How do I go from CLOB to LONG?I'm sorry, cannot help you on that one, I don't think you can do that at all (Oracle wants us to stop using LONGS, so, it's a one-way conversion...):
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1037232794454#15512131314505
    So: NO built_in, you'll need to write a program if the clob is ALWAYS LESS THAN 32k in size, you can use plsql..but is that the case in your case? Only you know that.
    I believe that question is still unanswered on this forum, but you might try searchin for answers on this forum, and
    the 'Database-General' forum: General Database Discussions
    Perhaps you can google a Q&D workaround...
    ( And consider convincing your collegues to just convert your LONGS to LOBS)

  • Copying a part of image from one file to another

    I am very new to InDesign, 2days old. I have to copy a small part of an image from one file and to paste on the other file. Is it possible? If yes, can you anybody explain me step by step?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Briefly, I would open the image in Photoshop. Crop the area you want. Size it to the finished size at (for printing) 300ppi, save it in the folder where you are going to save your InDesign document. Create a new InDesign document, choose Print for the intent, select the page size, margins, etc. save and name your document. You can place (command/control D) your image. Resizing it and positioning it to suit.
    By using a PSD file you can easily round trip back to Photoshop to make more changes.
    You should get some lessons, such as those on Lynda.com and Trainsimple.com and there are some excellent books available as well - Classroom in a Book and Visual Quickstart Guide.

  • How to send internal table data through mail from report in foreground

    hi all,
    iam trying  to convert the internal table data into excel format and sending it through mail by runnning the report in foreground.
    mail is going sucessfully with excel format,but iam facing the problem in the excel format of the material column as follows:
    the matrno shows the wrong format -2.63E+11  instead of displaying correct format-263215000000.
    Pls suggest the alternative process for the above mentioned problem.
    Thanks,
    Sivagopal R.

    Hi Siva,
      Try to copy 263215000000 in one of the cells of excel sheet and press enter.It will automatically convert into -2.63E+11 .
      This means the default formatting of the excel sheet makes this happen.If you convert the format of the cell to "NUMBER" then u will get the required result.
      But I doubt whether or not it is possible through ABAP programming.
    Regards,
    Vimal.

  • When I copy and paste an image from Word for usage in a Framemaker document it becomes blurred.

    Hi,
    I am saving graphics from Word for usage in a Framemaker document. When I copy and paste the file into photoshop it becomes blurred and unusable. How do I resolve this? I have tried saving the file in it's highest resolution but that doesn't work either.
    Thanks,
    Niall.

    The problem has to be the image itself, but then you give us zero information.
    We don't even know what platform you are on, Macintosh or Windows, what exact version of the OS, of Photoshop, or Word you are using, how you are getting what kind of image from Word, etc.
    It could be that you're just copying the low resolution thumbnail preview from MS Word, but we know nothing about its dimensions, resolution or format.
    Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

  • I can't copy any data or links from any webpages in Firefox to other programs such as Word

    When i am on different webpages and i try to copy information (URLs, data, links etc) from the webpage and try to paste it into either email messages, MS Outlook 2003 or a MS Word 2003 document, it will not paste. Not sure if this is a Firefox problem or a MS Office problem. It worked fine until about 2 days ago. Now it won't do it at all - have tried from several different webpages, different types of data, different types of desinations (documents, email, etc)
    == noticed it about 2-3 days ago. No changes made to the system.

    What happens if you try to paste into Notepad?
    Also, when you paste into Word, does any data paste at all? Try copying from this forum reply into Word to make sure the problem is with all sites. (Here is some '''bold text''' and ''italic text'' you can try copying)
    You do have an old version of Firefox, so you should try upgrading to the newest release from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
