Importing Excel into Plotmaker

Is it true that when importing an ecxel file that only a certain amount of rows from excel are imported, are there any settings that I should be aware to reslove that issue?

I assume you are on version 9 and are talking about linking, not importing.

Linking only works on Windows, not Mac, and brings in one 'page' from either Word or Excel. (This feature was discontinued in 10 and above.)

To bring in a larger amount of data you can define a custom page size in the page setup dialog of Excel. Still limiting.

AC 10 and above allow you to place PDF files, which gets rid of this limitation at the expense of no longer having live-linking.

You also have the option of copy/pasting the content from Excel into PM or AC.
