Do you set catalogs, price lists, or other long publications using Excel files as your source material? Want to use Excel data but don't want the problems? Get rid of those hassles! Here is relief! Our Spreadsheet Power Importer application, SPIP, lets you format any Excel file right inside SPIP for instant use in Pagemaker or Quark. You don't need to know Excel. SPIP does all this without having to manipulate an Excel file directly.

 SPIP is EXTREMELY EASY to use. All you need is a header for each column — or just use the contents of the first cell. SPIP shows you that first cell content for each column. Set the style and color for the header in SPIP, and SPIP applies it to the entire column. Then save the file as an RTF file (Rich Text filter which ends in .rtf), and import it into Pagemaker or Quark. Pagemaker and Quark (and any other program whch can use RTF files) will retain the styles and colors, and then you can do your work more easily.
