Thank you for trying!!! I wish I hadn't wasted all that time inputting the metadata, when I should have been renaming the files.

Lesson learned!

Seriously...thank you for your help

I have renamed 2 grades so far. I added their names in the metadata via LR upon 1st import. 

There are a total of 560 students + - & 140 staff

IDK... Can I? I am VERY NEW to this. I can try. 

I think the idea behind using the spreadsheet, is it would populate the images along with the corresponding names.

Huh.  Sorry, I don't know why it would do that, it didn't do it for me.  Mind you, I used Google Sheets instead of Excel, maybe there's a difference.

No.  I have just been looking all over the web to find an answer to creating the Index.txt file

I am creating the yearbook from scratch following the previous persons layout. I found a video of how to populate the student images into Indesign using the Index

So I just came across this.  Its what I need, but I am still trying to figure out how to create it...

Thank you! I will try it in Google Docs.

So, I am trying to create an index.txt file so that I can float a folder of images into InDesign for a yearbook student/staff layout page.  I am also the school photographer, but I have never had to create the above file.  I am new at building the yearbook.

Kind of.  I copied the list into excel, but it renamed all the images with (File:) in front of each of the file names.

Is this the same as an Index.txt

• Index.txt File (this file will sort the image files so that they flow to the correct location on your portrait pages)

Thank you.

I am looking to figure out (after much Googling) how to create a TXT. file from a folder of images.  A text list of the image names in a folder.
