Xdata, a plug-in for Quark Xpress (Mac OS and Windows), works like a mail merge on steroids. Using a powerful English-like scripting language, you write simple (or complex) rules about how you want your data formatted.
These rules tell Xdata how to import and format your text and graphics, using the full layout, design, typographic and picture publishing power of Adobe InDesign. With one click, Xdata builds your documents at jaw-dropping speeds? hundreds, or even thousands, of pages per hour.
Here are just a few things you can make with Xdata:
· Product catalogs of all kinds
· Classified advertising
· Directories
· Financial and legal reports
· Phone books
· Course listings
· Real estate guides
· Broadcast guides
· Trader and swap papers
· Music catalogs
· And much more, limited mostly by your imagination.
Xdata's best feature of all? No risk! With a free project evaluation (e-mail support@emsoftware.com with project details) and a 100% money-back guarantee, you can?t go wrong.
Xdata has been in production use at thousands of sites, world-wide, since 1990.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Fixed a problem where native indent-to-here characters (#30) were being stripped from imported text.
· Added negative and zero sections to format()‘s format string, which now allows "positive numbers;negative numbers;zero values" (where sections are separated by semicolons). For example, format("0", "#,###;(#,###);zero") would produce "zero".
· Fixed the format() function to strip leading zeros, such that format("0","#,###") now returns "" rather than "0". To preserve leading zeros, use a placeholder 0 (zero).
· Fixed a problem with the format() function where different forms of zero (like 0, 0.00 and -0) weren’t being formatted the same.
