I want to export a spreadsheet in XML to Indesign. What is the difference
between SaveAs XML and export through the data menu to XML? In Excel 2003
for PC you can do both and the HELP files says it is better to do it through
the export method. You can also view the source which in the Mac you cannot.
I have been trying to import the Mac XLMSS file and I haven't been able to
so I wonder if this is the problem.

Any body have experience in automating importing from Excel to Indesign?

Unfortunately Mac XL doesn't support XML as fully as PC XL. Your only option
is to Save As: XML Spreadsheet.

Why not just place the XL file in InDesign using the standard File>Place
command?
