I am making a catalog template for a client, and the text fields will be auto filled from a database.
How do I set up the style sheet so that it knows what part of the DB to pull to where?
Thanks!

I only know of how to auto-link the text boxes when you flow the text. Do you mean you want the text to automatically update when/if they change the copy? I don't think you can because you place the copy in, not link.

you can dynamically link text from a word document or a xml file, and if one is updated it will prompt you next time you open the file.
XML is probaly the only way can tag text to assign formatting, but your client would have to create XML documents and tag the text which I doubt they would do.

oh well. *yeah*, if you want to
*dynamically* link the text,
you can do that.
