This release improves QR codes and font selection with Word exports.

• Adds support for importing and exporting native Word QR codes. InDesign QR codes are now exported from InDesign as PNG images instead of EPS (because Microsoft has disabled EPS support in Word). For power users who may need to modify the export QR code in Word: the exported images are wrapped with a DISPLAYBARCODE field code that can be selected and exposed for editing, in Word for Windows (only), with the Toggle Field Codes context menu item (or Alt-F9).

• Improves font selection in exported Word documents.

• Switches to WordsFlow’s built-in Word filter, if it’s enabled in WordsFlow preferences, when relinking from an old-style .doc file to a modern .docx file, to give links an opportunity to upgrade to WordsFlow’s superior Word import filter. Previously, relinking from a .doc file to a .docx file would always use Adobe’s filter.

This release greatly improves the import of formatting from an Excel Workbook.

• Introduces a Preserve font settings when importing from Excel setting to InData’s General preferences panel and a Preserve font settings option to the Excel Workbook Options import options dialog to provide direct control over whether cell-level font formatting is ignored (the default), where, like Import from Text File, only the cell’s value is imported, or preserved, by infusing the imported values with formatting codes, during an import. Previously, InData always automatically preserved font settings that differed from the applied cell’s style.

  

• Preserves all font settings (font, style, size, effects and, when Adobe InDesign tags is selected, color) during an Excel Workbook import, to better match the results of placing an Excel Worksheet with InDesign. Previously, only what was different from the cell’s applied style was kept.

• Adds support for Adobe InDesign tags when preserving a cell’s font during an Excel Workbook import. Now, the General preference’s Styled text contains selection determines which flavor of tagged text the imported Excel data is infused with. Previously, InData only infused imported values with XPress Tags formatting codes.

• Adds a preservingFonts parameter (boolean) to the importDataFromWorksheet scripting method to override the default value found in the document’s General preferences.

• Includes a new HiDPI/Retina About dialog logo.

This release improves stability and sports an updated About dialog logo.

• Introduces a nicer About dialog logo.

• Includes internal changes that improve product reliability.

This release fixes a “key from group” problem.

• Fixes a long-standing limitation of key from group where it wouldn’t find its key value if the key was on a grouped text frame’s anchored/inline item or within a grouped text frame’s table. A picture frame, for example, tagged with key from group can now find its (indirect) key value even if it’s buried within a grouped text frame’s contained table cell.

This release mainly improves our workaround for an InDesign 2026 21.5.x bug.

• Improves the 3.18.5 release‘s workaround for an InDesign 2026 21.5 & 21.5.1 problem that can cause link updates and exports of stories containing tables to fail with a TypeError message.

This release works around an InDesign 2026 21.5.x bug and addresses an import presets issue.

• Works around a problem introduced with Adobe’s InDesign 2026 21.5 and 21.5.1 releases that causes link updates and exports of stories containing tables to fail with a TypeError message.

• Fixes a problem with import presets saved by recent versions of the plug-in (starting with DocsFlow 3.17.1) that loads and displays style names containing non-ASCII characters (like those with diacritical marks/accents/umlauts) incorrectly. This change lets DocsFlow load both classic preset files (saved in the OS’s native encoding by releases prior to 3.17.1) and new import preset files (saved in the cross-platform UTF-8 encoding) properly.

This release mainly fixes a problem that causes InDesign to shut down unexpectedly after an import.

• Fixes a problem introduced in the InData 3.6.3 release that causes the application to behave oddly or shut down after an import that uses a styled put.

• Adds parent and firstparent symbols as InDesign-esque synonyms for the traditional master and firstmaster symbols, respectively.

• Adds support for custom object names, as set in the Layers panel, when specifying the prototype and target stories of a scripted import.

• Allows scripted imports and header updates to specify their story parameters as references to text frames (for which InData obtains and uses the (entire) story associated with the text frame object).
