Microsoft Excel import options
You can choose from these options when importing an Excel file:
Sheet Specifies the worksheet you want to import.
View Specifies whether to import any stored custom or personal views, or to ignore the views.
Cell Range Specifies the range of cells, using a colon (:) to designate the range (such as A1:G15). If there are named
ranges within the worksheet, these names appear in the Cell Range menu.
Import Hidden Cells Not Saved In View Includes any cells formatted as hidden cells in the Excel spreadsheet.
Table Specifies how the spreadsheet information appears in the document.
Formatted Table InCopy tries to preserve the same formatting used in Excel, although the formatting of text within
each cell may not be preserved. If the spreadsheet is linked rather than embedded, updating the link will override any
formatting applied to the table in InCopy .
Unformatted Table The table is imported without any formatting from the spreadsheet. When this option is selected,
you can apply a table style to the imported table. If you format text using paragraph and characters styles, the formatting
is preserved even if you update the link to the spreadsheet.
Unformatted Tabbed Text The table is imported as tab-delimited text, which you can then convert to a table in
InDesign or InCopy.
Formatted Only Once InDesign preserves the same formatting used in Excel during the initial import. If the
spreadsheet is linked rather than embedded, formatting changes made to the spreadsheet are ignored in the linked table
when you update the link. This option isn’t available in InCopy.
Table Style Applies the table style you specify to the imported document. This option is available only if Unformatted
Table is selected.
Cell Alignment Specifies the cell alignment for the imported document.
Include Inline Graphics Preserves inline graphics from the Excel document in InCopy .
Number Of Decimal Places To Include Specifies the number of decimal places of spreadsheet figures.
