WoodWing Layout 4 for InDesign CS2 - 1-user LD40C1 Manuel D’Utilisation

Smart Catalog offers a powerful solution
to  link  information  from  your  data

sources, either a database, data file or

XML file, into your InDesign document.
Smart Catalog supports linking images,
text  frames  and  even  arbitrary  text
ranges allowing great flexibility. Once
your catalog is laid out, a single click will
update your InDesign document with
the latest information from the database

or data file.

Smart  Catalog  also  assists  with  the

layout of your catalog. Image options

can be set to scale and position images
correctly  in  the  frame.  Use  number

formats  to  control  the  appearance  of

numbers  and  prices  with  automatic
currency  symbol  addition.  Character
styles can be applied automatically.

Smart Layout is the perfect companion
to Smart Catalog and increases layout

efficiency.

Smart Catalog offers full control over the
update process for fast updates without
problems.  Fields  can  be  updated  one

by one or the entire document can be

updated all at once.

Smart  Catalog  is  offered  with  a
number of modules to ensure you only
pay  for  what  you  need.  Basic  Smart
Catalog offers text- and delimiter-file
functionality. It offers basic linking to
text files, all layout and update features.

Any  of  the  following  packages  can

be  additionally  purchased  for  more
functionality:

Link  to  various  databases  like  SQL

server, FileMaker, MySQL and Oracle

introducing  SQL  power  to  Smart

Catalog.

Use the structure and flexibility of XML
to build your catalog by linking to any
XML file. Get all attributes from a XML
tag  and  link  them  to  InDesign  page

elements. This is great for integrating a

Content Management System with an
InDesign publication.
