In short, I’m playing with WordsFlow, a plug-in from Em Software that fundamentally changes the way you’ll work with Word documents. Background: You may know that you can place Word files and link to them so that when the Word file changes, you can update it in InDesign. (The key is the “Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet” checkbox in the File Handling pane of the Preferences dialog box.) But you probably also know that this feature sounds far better than it really is — because you cannot make edits in InDesign after you place the file.
Well, technically you can, but if you do then all those edits are thrown away next time you update the link. It turns out that was just phase one. It could not be simpler to use WordsFlow: You just place a file, same as you always have. Designers Bookshop – Grid Calculator Pro Edition - Plug-in for Adobe InDesign.
