The following example comes from InDesignCS5_Scripting Guide. I don’t have a link, but google should find it for you.

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5”

tell excel import preferences

--alignment Style property can be: --center align
--left align
--right align

--spreadsheet
set alignment style to spreadsheet
set decimal places to 4
set preserve graphics to false
--Enter the range you want to import as "start cell:end cell". set range name to "A1:B16"
set sheet index to 1
set sheet name to "pathpoints"
set show hidden cells to false
--table formatting property can be:
--excel formatted table
--excel unformatted tabbed text
--excel unformatted table
set table formatting to excel formatted table

end tell

When I manually import/place an Excel file in InDesign CS6, I can set several import options (see attached screendump). Can these options also be set (or overruled) in an applescript?

Thanks in advance for any answer.
