XML + Indesign - copy tagged elements with hierachy

293 Views Asked by At

I'm using Indesign to create a catalog with multiple page templates and import the data from a xml export from the website.

In order to use 7 different templates I created lots of tagged frames. The import works well. (thanks to Indesign and XML - how to auto flow into multiple pages with differing styles?)

But I need to copy the elements and the structure to around 200 pages. My Problem is that the structure changes when copying the elements to a new page and also when I duplicate the page. I think the tags are sorted alphabetically when copying but I can't find settings or something else to change that.

Is there a way to avoid this problem or is there no other way then to sort 50 tags on 200 pages? PLEASE Help!

I found a bug entry that also resolves this issue. If you copy the elements, then undo the copying with CRTL + Z and then redo it with CTRL + Shift + Z the structure is kept in the right order:
