Link text fields in Designer 10 with cells in Excel or Word (table)?

Cheers Mikey. As I say, it only has a limited use as it's messed up by other browsers but I think it meets the OP's requirements.

Egg,

I tried several ways and it just seems that I cannot get the rectangle to get the web properties. When I try and preview it after using the Utilities > Web Properties menu I get the following error:

Sorry, this version of the program can't publish print documents on the web.

So I am not sure what I may have not switched on in my Xara version. Checked on the Xara web site and I have the 'Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 10.' It does not state a PRO version, so now I am wondering if I can even do this due to the error message I keep getting.

Mark, your software has no web publishing capabilities, so it's hardly surprising you can't access web properties.

I think along the way, we forgot what version of the software you are using.

I think you can still use the majority of Eggs workflow, but not use web pages.

All I can say is that it's just as well Egg isn't being paid!

Eggs solution is neat. It provides a form of automation by using web pages, but that is not open to you.

Some manual editing will be required to import the spreadsheet cells and put them in place and you can then overlay any other graphics over the top.

Egg has shown the principle and in truth, by using an export from excel, the regeneration of the diagram by importing that image isn't that great, but it won't be automated.

You may wish to consider changing what version of the software that you are using if you want to fit with Eggs existing workflow, or put up with manual updates.

It might be an idea to use the trail software to get a feel for the workflow.
