Data Merge - Not removing blank lines when more than one in a row

I am having the same problem as mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2109531#2109531  That post is for some reason set as "answered" though the poster said the latest update did not resolve the issue.  Has anyone found a solution to this issue?
Thanks much,

I"d suggest you try running the merge WITHOUT removing blank lines, then use  GREP to remove empty paragraphs. There's a pre-written saved query in the list.

  • Data merge not removing blank lines

    InDesign 7.0.4  (CS5)
    Mac OS 10.7.2
    I am merging product data for a simple price list.  Some of the products have images, some do not.  My .csv is formatted to include the image file name and I can create a 20 page, merged document with all of the products.  However, for the products without images, there is a blank image placeholder for records without images.  I want to remove the placeholder and allow the next product to "bump up" and not have so much white space.
    Does this make sense?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  I have crawled the forums and seen a lot of discussion around this, but no solution yet.  Thanks.
    Chris

    Peter,
    Thank you.  I was hoping you would respond.  I see your posts all over the forum.  Thanks again.
    So, to summarize, there is no way to remove the empty frames in my merged document.  (other than manually)
    Is there another way to do this that I may be missing?  Essentially, for the records without an image, I need to remove the white space in the image above (the second record is a good example).
    Thanks again,
    Chris

    I have the same problem, they never told me that, just that the newest version of Java "locks" up streaming quotes.

  • ALV to select more than one column by row using set_table_for_first_display

    Hello everyone,
    I am developing an application (ALV OO) to select more than 1 column by row ( one ). This is an a holiday application so the idea is:
    -One column will be the day, and the row will be the user.
    So I am trying to select more than one day by user (that would be the row).
    I am using the method set_table_for_first_display but when it shows the alv, doesn't let me to select more than one column with a click of the mouse.
    Does anybody know if I can do this (select more than one column, by row) in somehow?
    Please let me know if you need more clarification about this.
    Thanks in advance
    Diego

    Hi Diego,
    it's all in the documentation.
    set different selection modes through the value of the field u201CSEL_MODEu201D in the layout structure.
    SPACE
    same as 'B'
    see 'B'
    Default setting
    'A'
    Column and row selection
    Multiple columns
    Multiple rows
    The user selects the rows through pushbuttons at the left border of the grid control.
    'B'
    Simple selection, list box
    Multiple columns
    Multiple rows
    'C'
    Multiple selection, list box
    Multiple columns
    Multiple rows
    'D'
    Cell selection
    Multiple columns
    Multiple rows
    Any cells
    The user selects the rows through pushbuttons at the left border of the grid control
    Beyond setting this option, you can set u201CNO_ROWMARKu201D option to hide the mark column which is normally visible when the selection mode allows multiple row selection.
    One point to notice here is that if you set your ALV Grid as to be editable, it may override your selection mode regardless of your layout settings.

  • How to include more than one input ready rows in analyzer

    Hi Gurus,
            I have a requirement that, I need to have more than one input ready rows at the end of the query output in analyzer.
       Normally it will show only one row as input ready at end of the query result in any manual planning analyzer., But my requirement is to have multiple input ready rows in analyzer. Is it possible in workbook/analyzer?.

  • The file is not readable, when more than one file open

    Get this error when I try to open more than one file. Happens on different files, but especially on jobs that have side panels on packaging. The files have placed .psd images. Happens on different computers (10.6 & 10.8.2).
    Can get the file open usually by closing the othere open file, but then is hard to copy and paste between files. Sometimes I get this when trying to open one file, but restarting Illustrator usually fixes this.
    Have tried working directly from the hard drive, and still get this problem. Does to follow an exact pattern, can try to open file a, then b one day thsi will work another will fail. Seems like something is corrupting the memory, and usually happens with more complex files. Happens in CS5 & CS6, though I mostly work in CS5.

    Anyone else getting this error?

  • [JS CS3] Need an array of paragraphs when more than one story

    Hello,
    If I have a document with only one story the following line returns an array of all the paragraphs. I can then iterate through the array to my hearts conent.
    var paraRef = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().paragraphs;
    However, if there is more than one story, then, according to the Data Browser, some of the object Paragraphs contain more than one paragraph and some of the object Paragraphs are invalid. The length of paraRef is correct, i.e. it equals the total number of paragraphs in the document, but each member of this array either  "bunched up" or contains nothing.
    How can I write this so that  when I have more than one story I can get an array of all the paragraphs?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thanks, Harbs and Dave!
    Before I saw your answers I came up with a (longer) solution:
    var storyRef = app.activeDocument.stories;
    var arrStories = [];
    for(var j = 0; storyRef.length > j; j++){
        arrStories.push(storyRef[j])
        }//end for
    var arrParas2 = [];
    for(var x = 0; arrStories.length > x; x++){
        for(var y = 0; arrStories[x].paragraphs.length > y; y++){
            arrParas2.push(arrStories[x].paragraphs[y]);
            }//end for y
        }//end for x
    But I am curious about something. Your solution and my solution both result in an array of all paragraphs in the document but the data browser shows these arrays in different ways. I am wondering how to intrepret them.
    Your solution does not show the indexed paragraphs, mine does. See the images below.

  • Firefox will not load pictures, videos or more than one tab at a time. Help!

    Hi there,
    I have reinstalled Firefox 3.6 a few times, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. When I try and load a site with pictures, videos (such as YouTube, but including a blog post with pictures), or more than one tab at a time, I just get "Untitled" tabs that don't even register the address. This happens especially when clicking to open a link in a new tab from a Google Reader.
    At this point too, a lot of pages will not load correctly; even Firefox Help as it turns out!

    Sorry there is no telephone support. You could try the IRC if you want a quick response, ( whilst it is [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ask open] )
    Firefox 4 is not supported, but firefox 3.6 is

  • Macbook freezing when more than one program runs

    Hello all,
    My Macbook is about a year and a half old. A few weeks ago, it crashed catastrophically, and the geniuses at my local store replaced the logic board.
    Since getting it back, it's been crashing almost every time I try to run more than one program, such as itunes and safari. Ichat video or photobooth on their own cause it to freeze. The freezing process is gradual; first the program I'm looking at freezes, but I can navigate to other programs, but within a few minutes those freeze as well. During the freeze, the cursor moves (in beachball shape) but the screen is unresponsive and apple-option-escape has no effect; the only solution is to manually turn it off. It's also taking longer and longer to boot up. This happens when it's plugged in as well as on battery power. It's gotten to the point that I'm scared to do work on it, because I can't trust it to work long enough to save my data. What happened? Is this the result of my "fixed" logic board or something else? I am getting SO FRUSTRATED by how unreliable my macbook has become!!

  • The info supplied does not show how to delete more than one bookmark, only folders

    I read the info provided online for deleting more than one bookmark/folder but it doesn't show how for multiple bookmarks. My OS is XP. with updated Firefox version.
    When I go to Bookmarks>Show All Bookmarks, there is no listing of the ind bookmarks, only the folders.
    Whoever used this pc before had lots and lots and I do not want to have to delete them all one-by-one.
    Please advise---

    ''Library List only shows Folders, how do I delete bookmarks''
    Usually one deletes a lot of history items so the techniques were described in the history areas by including some pictures. The techniques work the same for bookmarks.
    You can select '''multiple entries without invoking the bookmark''' for dragging, copying, moving or deleting, (similar to how you can [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox#Selecting_history_items select multiple browsing history items]) with use of the Ctrl''/Cmd'' key (to add to a selection) & Shift key (to extend a selection) by clicking to the '''left''' of the favicon (webpage icon) in the list to make selection(s). To extend from the last selection made of dis-contiguous entries use Ctrl''/Cmd''+Shift+click. Makes moving several bookmarks from different places to a new location easier as well, and of course for your interest in deleting bookmarks.
    Whether you are selecting from the Side Panel or from the Library List, you generally want to start with a search specifying one or more strings within Titles, url/location, or tags. The search with strings of characters works the same in the Location Bar (before Enter known as the AwesomeBar feature), and in bookmark, history and tab searches.
    Within the Library List you will only see bookmarks by selecting a folder, or by doing a search.

  • Equium L40 - internet does not work if I open more than one website

    I have an Equium L40-10X and although the system runs fine, it does not like the internet. If I open more than one website, a little box comes up saying that Internet Explorer has incurred a problem and that it must be restarted. This is becoming excruciatingly annoying if I am in the middle of something important and I lose the website that I was on!
    Especially with me going off to uni soon too! It especially will refuse to work if I need to download something e.g. I recently bought an Apple iPod Nano, and I needed iTunes in order for me to put music on it, but as soon as it starts the download, the "internet has stopped working" box pops up and I have to start everything again, but instead of it working -it simply does not!
    This is becoming an often occurrence, and it makes me incredibly stressed!
    Please help.

    Hi
    Do you always use the up to date windows OS?
    Such errors appear if the registry is dirty and the WinOS was not updated!
    Update the Windows on the Microsoft page to the latest state!!
    Furthermore you should clean the registry using the freeware tool called CCleaner. Its nice!
    So finally one hint;
    You can access the internet not only with Microsoft Internet Explorer but also with another internet browser like for example Firefox.
    I recommend checking such possibility.

  • Can not import excel spreadsheet with more than one spreadsheet from an email

    i get excel files sent to me all the time by email and have been able to open most of them.  Went to a apple store and was told i needed to install numbers app on my iphone 4 to open them up because their was more than likely two or more work sheets in that file. i am on the road and can't get to my imac.  I bought numbers did all the updates on the iphone and sync to itunes.  it still cant open the spreadsheets if they have more than one work sheet. it does ask do you want to open in numbers i answer the question it starts the import then get error message spreadsheet couldn't be imported.  the file format is invalid.
    this is frustrating to by an app that was suggested by apple for the solution and it doesn't work.
    by the way i have excel on the macbook pro and imac so that is not an issue need to be able to see on the phone while traveling.
    by the way it says microsoft excel 97-2004 worksheet 16 kb open in "numbers"
    Any suggestions

    Hi Caroline
    you should be able to apply the exact same principles to your multi query report. The XML will have a main root node and then the results of the queries underneath.
    So if you had 3 queries you'd get something like
    <REPORTNAME>
    <G_FIRST_QUERY>
    </G_FIRST_QUERY>
    <G_SECOND_QUERY>
    <G_SECOND_QUERY>
    <G_THIRD_QUERY>
    <G_THIRD_QUERY>
    </REPORTNAME>
    In the template you will be able to map on to the separate sections of the XML very easily.
    regards, Tim

  • Use of layout when more than one parameter - Error Missing Parameter Values

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use a crystal report which has more than one parameter as the layout for the bill of materials report.
    I have 3 parameters
           1. DocKey@       The Bill of Materials to be printed
           2. Number of levels to be printed
           3. type of levels to print.
    When I try to print it gives me the error Missing Parameter Values.
    I have tried changing the DocKey@ to CodeKey@ but the same error.
    Does anyone now where to find a list of these tokens?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I looked at the crystal report conversion to try to find what parameters it used and found none.
    I have managed to create and use a crystal report to replace the production order using DocKey@ as the parameter.  This works within SAP.  However I have converted the system production order to crystal reports and from the converted report I cannot see any parameters at all.
    How and where can you find out what paramters you need to use to replace any PLD report?  Several reports have multiple selection criteria before the report prints.  How can you find out what their tokens are called?  I am starting to pull my hair out.  I am getting great help from this forum, but do you know any documentation which actually explains this area.
    Thanks

  • Empty fields in data merge is causing blank lines to show up. CS4

    I had this problem when I was laying out my data merge info I origionally put phone and cell phone on the same line which resaulted in the cell phone number getting split in two since the column wasn't wide enough to show both of them side by side. I then moved the cell phone number down to the next line but the problem I had then was that it would leave a blank line everytime I would come across somebody who didn't have a cell phone number. Does anyone know how I can collapse that empty line when the cell phone line is empty?
