• IXMLembedder: What Does It Do And How Would You Use It? (Key Words, Spring 2017) «» Lucie Haskins and Angela Howard with full-page view of the IXMLembedder general process chart. [NOTE: In this Key Words article, I promised to create a cheatsheet to help users new to the IXMLembedder process. But the more I delved into following through on this promise, the more I found the existing Leverage Technologies' IXMLembedder Quick Reference Guide for InDesign Projects to be complete, clear, and containing every single element essential to understanding how to do so. So, I apologize for my delay in notifying you, but I think you would be best served by using the existing QRG with my suggestion to pay close attention to the FOLDER LOCATION and to the FILE EXTENSION needed for each process step. This is because these might change from step to step, and paying close attention to these details is critical to completing the process successfully.]
