I'm a basic user of InDesign.

I have to import many (hundreds) of paragraphs into a page layout consistent of many Text Frames per page. Each page looks like so:

I have all the paragraphs on a spreadsheet where each cell is a paragraph.

My current workflow is to copy a full page in InDesign, paste it after the last page and then manually replace the content of each of the Text Frames with the next paragraphs. This is of course not very efficient.

Do you know of a way to automate or at least streamline this process?

InDesign has a feature called "Data Merge" which allows you to create a layout, tag some frames in it and import a .csv* file.

Take a look at these docs from Adobe helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/data-merge.html or search for the term "InDesign Data Merge".

* comma separated values - can be exported from Excel or Google Spreadsheets)
