If you want to data merge into one text frame without the fuss of stitching lots of frames together, check out a script by Loic Aigon called Inline Merge: http://support.ozalto.com/downloads/inlineMerge.zip

  • Data Merge Multiple Records Per Page Greyed Out

    I am using InDesign cs5.5. I am attempting to create a catalog with the data merge option. I am attempting to do a data merge from the Master Page.
    As you can see in the image, I have inserted my fields from the data source file. All images, original file, and data source file are in the same folder. I am inserting this info on the left sheet of the master file. When I select "Create Merged Document" the "select multiple records per page" is greyed out, however, there is plenty of room on the page for the 8 records I want it to show. See image below.
    After watching tutorials, reading, etc. I made sure that my document does not have facing pages. I deleted my "page 2" to avoid that conflict. I made sure that the placeholder "allows overwrite from the master". I also deleted my "cache"/settings" by doing "ctrl, alt, shift" when reopening the program. I read that it may be because the files need to be on the right hand sheet of the master, however, when I move my info to the right sheet, I get the following message.
    I have watched the tutorial videos, read the entire help section regarding data merge, and have correctly created my data source file. I've tried everything I've seen on the forums, apart from uninstalling and reinstalling. Please tell me that someone can help me figure this out as soon as possible. I'm in crunch time!
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks Peter. That helped me un-grey the multiple records. I was able to complete a data merge, however, this is what happens.
    As you can see in this image, I have the margins setup the way I prefer, and the data merge previews correctly.
    Once I click to merge, this is the new document I get - it's only putting one record per page (even though the multiple records per page is selected), and it inserts this layout, not onto actual pages in indesign. It looks reall odd.
    And when you scroll down,
    Any suggestions on fixing this?
    Also, my InDesign freezes up when I try and do a merge of my entire sheet (182 items). The images above are when I tested doing just records 1-32.
    Thanks in advance and thanks for being so prompt yesterday. Very helpful.

  • Help! Error when data merging multiple records per page

    I managed to get one record per page to display great.
    When I try to insert the text box into my master page and run to create multiple entries per page it gives me only one result:
    Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

  • Data Merge Multiple Records Per Page

    I am working on a directory of 235 names. All the information, ie., name, addresses, emails, phone numbers etc. are in an excel file.
    What I need is not each name on individual pages. Is there a way to have the data flow together, like a phone book.
    Thank you

  • Data merge - multiple records per document

    I am trying to do a data merge to have 4 addresses per page. I have my main page setup with the merge fields. When I select create merged document, the "records per Document Page" drop down is greyed out. I cannot select multiple records.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Phil                          

    I guess I still do not understand how this works. I would like the multiple addresses to print 4-up on a page so that I can cut a letter size page in to fourths for postcards. The attached image shows my main document.

  • Data Merge: Cannot get multiple records per page

    I am working with a client who is trying to do a directory in Indesign. There are about 1,800 people with information like address, title, employer, phone, etc. This info is on an Excel spread sheet. I made a text, tab delimited and a CSV file from the spreadsheet. I set up a two column text box on each page and want these entries to fill the columns. I am only able to get one person's information per page. Multiple records per page yields no different result. I also had the multiple records option grayed out on a couple tries. I have tried this many times, even tried setting up a simple spread sheet with 9 items. No luck. HELP! I'm brand new to this feature.

    the data merge function in indesign doesn't make "next record" merges  like word does, but instead merges to fields within fixed text boxes, so  one frame = one data merge result. when doing mailing labels in word,  there is a field called "next record" which then calls in the next piece  of information.
    the "next record" field is a vital field which indesign doesn't have and  i'd like… but that doesn't answer your question. i can see four ways  of doing what you want to do:
    1) do a mail merge in word and use the "catalog" feature and do the  merge in word. format the word file appropriately using stylesheets, and  once the merge is made, save the file and close it. THEN, place the  file in indesign and then change the imported stylesheets into something  which resembles more like what you want.
    2) use indesign's data merge but make sure that multiple record  layout is selected in the first dialog box when creating merged  document; and that when previewing the records, the records appear to be  in one column (even though they are still in separate text frames).  merge the document, and in the new document, select all the text frames  in the page and then run the MergeTextframes_ID.jsx script which can be  found at http://ajarproductions.com/blo…..-indesign/ .this  will have to be done page by page and then rethreaded each page, but  it's a workaround
    3) if the data in the datamerge is a csv, convert the csv to xml. if  the csv is small (less than 100K) there is a converter online where the  contents of the csv is copied into the converter. it is at http://www.creativyst.com/Prod/15/ . The next step is complicated and needs some knowledge of XML. my  advice is to get hold of a book called "Designer's Guide to Adobe   InDesign and XML" by James Maivald, and specifically read chapter seven  and base your merge on this.
    4) visit the third party providers link within the indesign page of the adobe site and have a look at products marketed there... i think teacup software and cacidi software sell products which do more advanced merges within indesign. they're not free though but are designed to handle big catalogues.
    hope that helps.

  • Data Merge, multiple records, one text box, one page

    I need to my data to merge in one text box on multiple lines.
    Example:
    My TXT file:
    Name
    Mary
    Bob
    Paul
    I want my InDesign file to look like this: (one text box, one page)
    Mary
    Bob
    Paul
    I don't want multiple pages or multiple text boxes. I hope this makes sense.
    TIA

    Sorry, that's not how it works in Data Merge.
    Your list will require multiple records per page, or a restucturing of the data (a better choice, in this case) so you have Name1, Name2, Name3 or something similar.
    Have you considered just placing the text file?
    How many records are you really using?

  • "Layout" option in iPhoto 09 - multiple photos per page

    I am trying to printing several different photos on a single page. While I can achieve this by selecting a smaller image size and letting iPhoto arrange them automatically I would like to adjust the layout. When I selected "Layout" (under "customize") earlier I was offered layouts for One, Two, Three etc. images per page but now I can't find how to get iPhoto to offer more than One image per page. Am I doing something wrong? With several pictured selected, how do I customize the layout?
    Thanks
    Duncan

    Thanks - That is what I figured but the strange thing is that when I clicked on "Layout" 20 minutes before I posted this question it offered me page layout options for "One", "Two" "Three" and "Four" images per page with different configurations for each......but now I can't get those options - frustrating! And thinking about it, why would it say "One" under layout if there were no other options available?
    Has anyone else experienced this? Do other iPhoto 09 users get multiple images per page options under "Layout"?
    Thanks
    Duncan

  • How to save a pdf with multiple slides per page

    I have multiple pdf files that I would like to combine but for some of those files, there were originally from powerpoint. For those files, I would like to change the pdf so that there are multiple slides per page. I don't have a copy of the original powerpoints. I am trying to find an easy way to do this because I have at least a hundred pdfs to do. Thank you!

    You could print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer, and select multiple Pages per Sheet on the Layout tab of the printer Properties dialog. Printing a PDF to PDF is generally frowned upon, but once it a while it comes in handy. It could have some unwelcome side effects though like wiping out your carefully crafted accessibility tags, bookmarks, and some document properties.

  • How to print multiple sheets per page?

    Please advise how, if it is possible, to print multiple sheets per page with Acrobat 7.0 Pro.<br /><br />I have a PDF that's about 24" x 60". I'd like to make a "poor man's poster" by printing on several pages and taping them together -- sort of like Microsoft's "Fit to <x pages> tall by <y pages> wide" feature. Can this be done with Acrobat 7.0 Pro?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />-Kurt

    That is typically a function of the print driver for Acrobat. One way to do it is to print to a new PDF and select the printer properties and select multi-up. Bill

  • Multiple photos per page not working :( Please help

    I see the option for multiple photos per page. It was available 5 minutes ago but now is grayed out and I can not get it back. This is very annoying. Can someone tell me why iPhoto won't let me print multiple photos on the same sheet?
    Thanks

    Remember that we know nothing except what you tell us - that it is not working is not much
    The most common reason that print multiple photos per page is grayed out is that you either have a photo size/paper size combination that will not fit multiple photos (ie trying to print 2 8x10 photos on an 8 1/2 x 11 paper) or you have not selected but one photo
    If these do not help please give us some more detail on what you are doing

  • Is it possible to do multiple prints per page on 4x6, on B110?

    The subject pretty much sums it up... I can do multiple prints per page on other sizes of paper (A4 etc), but there is no option to do so on 4x6.
    This is pretty annoying, because the Epson printer I was replacing can do this. The follow-up question, therefore, is if I can't do it through HP's software, if I re-download Epson Easy Photoprint will I be able to use it for the HP printer?
    Thanks.

  • IPhoto How to print multiple photos per page.

    How do I print multiple photos on one page using iPhoto 10.5.1?

    You've done it in the past - but not with iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x
    with iPhoto '11 version 9.5.1 (there is no version 10.5.1) the only way to print multiple photos per page is as I explained - and going back to a [revious is not an option as previous versions will not run under OS X 10.9.3 and previous versions can not read the library after it is upgraded to version 9.5.x
    the way you do it is
    For now a work around is to duplicate the photo in iPhoto (this does not increase disk storeage requirements) and print multiple copies at once
    To print 4 you must make 3 duplicates and select them and print all four

  • How can I print multiple photos per page?  It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

    How can I print multiple photos per page?  It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

    Do you want to print several different photos per page or multiples of the same photo?
    If you want to print several different photos,select them all at once and press command-P for "Print".  Pick the Custom Layout and adjust the photo size suitably.
    If you want multiples of the same photo, duplicate the photo several times and select all copies at once, then press command-P.
