Naming, arranging linked photos with Excel document info

Hello!
I am attempting to make a newspaper layout consisting for graduates from our local high schools. I have been provided a disc with literally hundreds of pictures. The photos in the layout need to be arranged in alphabetical order, but the file names are non-sequential numbers that are not in order. However, I have been given an Excel document that has the file name with the name of the student in the cell next to it.
Is it possible to somehow use this data in the Excel document to properly arrange the images like I need them in the layout? If it has to be done manually, that's fine, but I thought it would be worth a shot to ask. We have InDesign CS3 and CS4.
Thank you!

It's probably easier to solve this outside of InDesign.
Construct a spreadsheet with string contatenation that produces commands to rename the files. Under Windows:
RENAME 1234.JPG F4332.JPG
or under Mac OS X:
mv 1234.jpg f4332.jpg
And then save the results to a .BAT file (Windows) or a .sh file (OSX) and then execute it (filename.bat or "sh file.sh").
Then all your files are renamed and you should be able to autoplace them in InDesign.
Or you could use Data Merge.

  • Link SAP with Excel

    Hello SAP Gurus-
    Every month we have to download various reports from SAP (ME2J, FS10N, FD10N, FK10N and others) and export it to excel. Than in excel, we have to mannually format the same.
    Is there a way we can link SAP with excel? Like if anyone in my company posts against particular vendor, it will automatically update the excel file that will have report from FK10N (Vendor Balance Display)
    One of my friend at Bloomberg said that their SAP is linked to excel where excel is updated automatic. But I could not get any further details on how it works.
    Please let me know if there is a way we can implement this system in our company.
    Thank You in advance.
    Jai

    Hi,
    You have to direct download it in to the Excel sheet without export to excel file.
    E.g:- If you need to download the balance or any data fron the spreatsdeet amd yu download the file and give the file name as .xls it will download in the excel format.
    May hope this is helpgul

  • How can I insert photos to excel documents from iPad?

    I need to find a way to edit excel docs from my iPad. I have found numerous apps that work great. The thing I'm having trouble with is editing or inserting images or art into the spreadsheets as you can with excel.

    A simple and popular way to copy files.  Also, has shared folders.

  • Link check with clearing documents

    I have a situation where, users cleared vendor manually.
    Now when we look at the cleared line item from FBL1N and select the payment to look at the check details, It doesn’t allow me to see check details from there. “It says No check information exist for this line item”
    What should I do in order to link the link the check with that payment so that I can see even check info for line items from FBL1N?

    Hi,
    I am sure you cannot print checks using transaction code F-44. This transaction is used only for clearing the Vendor open items either to a GL Account or debits and credits in a Vendor account.
    I guess, user would have used F-44 and posted the amount to the Bank account or Bank clearing account. This will not update even the check register. May be the check is written manually.
    The solution to resolve this is to reverse the document created using F-44 using transaction code FBRA (reverse and reset) and post a new document using transaction code F-58. This will update the check register as well as tracking of documents clearing for the payment.
    Thanks
    Murali.

  • Archive Link problem with redundant document names

    Hi all,
    I have a tricky problem in archive link. I would like to attach some different documents to an HR/PD Organisation unit ( objekttyp pdotype_o )
    All customizing works fine but the problem is, all documents attached to one busines object ID have the same name ( in this case objectnumber.pdf)
    I am not lucky with this issue because  the users must be able to see all documents ( via document finder ) attached to the org. unit  and all what the users get, is a list of  one or more documents with exactly the same name.
    In some cases this are about 10 different documents and this issue is a very bad solution because users have to open all attached docs to recognize which one they need.
    During the import/check in of the documents via transaction OAAD and OAWD, SAP renames the original document name.pdf  into the related object ID.pdf and there is no way to rerename it or influence this process.
    I tried to use some scan software with SAP interface but unfort. with the same result because software of this kind use the archive link interface too and cannot influence the process of check in and rename.
    Has anybody an idea ( third party software, customer development or something like this ) to prevent this problem and give me the possibility to stay with the original document names or change it after check in?
    Thank you in advance
    Rayko

    How you fix this problem?
    I'm with the same problem. Could you help me please?

  • Help with excel document

    hello all,
    I have an excel base `database`on which I have been working on for about 10 years. It basically has all my music data from all this time, i.e. it is very important for me.

    Today during sync, the process unexpectedly stopped, and now I cant seem to open the file. I double click, excel starts, but no open.
    Anyone might have any idea what caused this? If anyone can help I am willing to send the file for revision-correction.

  • Report to link invoices with attached documents

    I am trying to spool a report from the oracle back end, for some senior staff at my organisation. The report would contain approved invoices along with their electronically attached documents. I have a similar query that works( see below) the problem is this query only accurately ties invoice ID's(PK1_Value) for invoices that were created using "AP_INVOICES" enitity_name, but majority of our users dont have the payables responsibility and hence can only create using the "AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE" enitity_name, and I cant tie the PK1_VALUE in the fnd_attached_documents table to the invoice ID, Please I need urgent help to locate (a) what PK1_VALUE is being used by AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE (b) How I can reference INVOICE_ID with that value.
    SELECT SUP.vendor_name SUPPLIER, INV.invoice_num INVOICE,

    This is an oracle related question, and its not an in-built developed model. I was actually refered to this forum from oracle support.Billy is correct. Whilst it may be an Oracle question, it is not an SQL or PL/SQL related question.
    Your question is referring specifically to functions and entities that are only available to people using one of Oracle Apps type things (I don't use them myself)... So probably one of the forums in the E-Business suite (https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=3) would be more suitable.
    Oracle Support would not (or certainly should not) be referring someone to ask their question in the forums if it is an urgent commercial issue as these forums are not for commercial support.
    In these forums, nothing is "urgent" and it is considered rude to presume otherwise, both to the volunteers who help here, and to the other people who would like their questions answered.
    The reason i mentioned the tables AP_INVOICES_ALL and AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE is to give as much information about my problem as possible.That's great, but those tables do not exist as part of the standard Oracle database installation, and this SQL and PL/SQL forum is for questions related to the SQL and PL/SQL languages, not for questions related to specific applications that people here are unlikely to have, and for which, when they are Oracle provided applications, they have their own specific forums.

  • Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

    i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents.  I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held.  HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

    One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
    If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

    Within browser, getURL is your only option.
    From standalone exe projector, you will need 3rd party tools

  • How do I open an excel document in an email and use numbers to edit it

    I receive emails with excel documents in them.  Am I able to open the document and use the numbers app on my iPad 2 to edit this document?

    AFAIK - and I do use Pages on the iPad, you have to use the file sharing feature to transfer the file to iTunes on the computer. That is how I have always made to transfer. Obviously you have to have the iPad connected to the computer And set up for a sync, but I don't think the files will transfer unless to use file sharing. I may be reading the whole thing incorrectly because the article does state ...
    Using iTunes 9.1 or later, you can copy files between your computer and apps on your iOS device that support File Sharing (for example, Pages for iPad supports File Sharing, so you can create a document in Pages on your iPad, then copy it to your Mac so you can open it in Pages for Mac OS X). This article explains how to copy files between your computer and your iOS device using File Sharing.
    This may mean if you want to edit the files on the computer you must use file sharing via the sync process. However, I'm not so sure that syncing, in and of itself will actually transfer the files. The key here is if you want to have access in iTunes you use file sharing. Email, cloud services work as well as you know.
    I don't want to mess the OP up either, but this method is supposed to be the sure fire way to transfer the files. I will try when I get home just using a sync. Actually, once you try the file sharing method, it really is very easy to do.
    OT ... I realize .... But I've been looking for a reason to bring up the subject of the Buccos and the Reds. Such a strange feeling here in the Burgh again. Like the '70's almost. You are right ... Long way to go!

    if so, this might work for you:
