hi,

i need to copy few thousand values from excel and paste them into adobe illustrator, but on places i pre defined with my design layout. it's a drag to copy them one by one, it looks like this:
1. copy a value from excel
2. go to illustrator
3. find the place where i want to paste, then click on it
4. paste
5. go back to excel
6. repeat that process a few thousand times.

what i would like to do:
1. go to excel and copy all values i need, using some software in a way: ctrl+c+1, ctrl+c+2, ctrl+c+3 ...
2. go to illustrator and paste values in places pre defined by layout in a way: ctrl+v+1, click on a different place ctrl+v+2, click on a different place ctrl+v+3

is there any software that has that option, can i somehow enable it in windows via some plugin, or whatever helps...

i hope you get the idea, and sorry for my english. it's not my native tonque
thank you

You need a multi-clipboard application. Try M8. It's free.

you could copy all you values at once and past them into Adobe, then move them around from there. Not uch help but keeps you in the program.
