Placing a multi-page Excel document

I have a 103 page Excel document that I want to place into an InDesign document.?Is there a way to place all 103 pages automatically without having to move the place cursor 103 times for each successive page??I tried saving the Excel doc as a ''more friendly'' PDF, but it will only place one page at a time (although it does load up all 103 pages on the place cursor).?I'm trying to save myself from having to manually put that place cursor on each successive page and place each page of the PDF or Excel document.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Placing a multi-page Excel document

Will the excel file autoflow the same way text does when you hold the shift key and click the loaded cursor? (I don't know because I don't use placed Excel files in my work).

If not, there are scripts for placing multipage PDF. I think there's even one included inthe sample scripts that are installed with the application.

The script for placing a multipage PDF worked perfectly!?It took me a couple of days (on and off) to find this answer (which, in hindsight didn't really save any work time... but it's the principle, right?), but in the future this will make our multipage placements much easier.

Funny, I searched ''Help'' for a topic on this but found nothing.?You wouldn't know the script for multipage document placings is there unless you knew it was there!

Thanks again!?You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!
