Data Merge - Problem with multi paragraph text

Hi. Does anyone know how to use Data Merge for automating say a newsletter. The reason I ask is that when I produce a .csv file that contains stories with paragraphs, data merge reads the para returns as the next row/record of data. I have contained the story within " " marks and it reads OK into a demo of easy catalog, but data merge just gets all confused. Is anyone using data merge to automate newsletters / catalogues that have lots of text with para returns etc. I read in the adobe online manual that there cannot be any para returns in text because that's how data merge recognises a new record. Just thought someone might know a trick at the data source stage to get around this. Might be a stupid question but had to ask because it's annoying the hec out of me!
Thanks in advance.

wouldn't use data merge for this kind of automation, but rather XML, which is a bigger learning curve but worth the effort. a book by james maivald called
A Designer Guide to Adobe InDesign and XML.
data merge is great when the data being replaced is the same size, shape and position on each page, but with a newsletter, thats not normally the case and there is no way of threading the merged stories. i'd also imagine that having the stories within a CSV would limit characters which could be used such as " , and tabs (anything which separates the fields). as you say in your post, indesign doesn't have what a lesser program (word) DOES have, which is the "next record" field, allowing text to thread from one story to the next.
an alternative would be to use a word file with styles and use the mail merge (catalogue merge) which allows the "next record" field, merge it in word, and then bring the word file in. it's a yucky alternative but it does work.

  • InDesign Data Merge problem with field names

    Hi to all.
    I am trying to create a sales catalog with data merge. I have product name, description, old price, new price and image. However, when I select my .csv file as data source, InDesign recognizes different fields as one and puts them all together. I tried copying and pasting to new spreadsheet,  retyping the info myself, saving as tab delimited and as comma delimited file. To better illustrate, here are exemplary screenshoots:
    Please help, I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I'm a regular InDesign user for almost a decade, but I haven't used DataMerge until now, never needed it. I have basic knowledge in Excel, so if I did something wrong there please inform me (do I have to tell it somehow to "split" them into fields?).
    Thank you in advance!

    I would recommend to test with different export types in Excel like:
    Tab-Divided txt files instead of csv or with different decoding.
    When you have learned which is working fine, you can select this always in the future.
    (There is also a possibility inside InDesign to change the type between tab separated text and CSV. In my experience it depends very much on the Excel version which would work. Microtrash has a bad history in localizing their programs, e.g. here in German, in numbers we write coma instead of a point, a point of a coma, so decided MS to exchange it every where on the Mac version with the outcome, that CSV files are not coma separated but dot separated and are not working on any data base import. So I can only use tab separated files.)

  • Create data merged document with data on every second page?

    Is it possible to create a data merged document with the variable data only on every second page?
    I have set up the pages with the variable data as a master page (on every odd page) with the text box and paragraph style all set up, and I have set 'override master page items' so the data can be placed, but InDesign seems to freeze up when I try to create the merged document?

    There should be no problem doing the merge with a two-page master and a two-page template document with fields only on one page (and off the top of my head there's no reason to move them off the master page if that's where you put them). I think the problem here is that rachrachm already has a file of 500 pages (based on another thread asking how to apply masters to every other page).
    It's potentially possible to simply place the data file (without the header row) as a text file and auto-flow through the master page frames (can't say for sure without seeing the files), or if the pages without the merge fields are the same just, remove all but the first two pages from the template and do the merge.
    As I metioned earlier, though, this is a very inefficient method of producing that sort of document. A true variable data print flow would be better (you'd need to find a commercial printer who can do it with your data file), or the home version would be to make one single page file for the static content, print 250 copies (plus a few extras, just in case), then make a single page merge template, do the merge, and print that on the back of the already printed pages, or as a separate page. It is immeasurably faster to print multiple copies of a document than it is to print a document that has multiple identical pages.

    - Fix flicker problem with constraint bound text that is being autoSized.  If the remeasure is done in a 2nd pass you will see a flicker as all the objects are moved to accommodate the reflowed text.
    - Fix data binding issue with text setter.
    - Rework measure() to accommodate implicit autoSize.
    If explicitWidth or widthInChars specified and explicitHeight or heightInLines specified, or for now, blockProgression != "tb", the text has fixed dimensions and is not auto-sized.
    If no text and width specified, but no height, start at specified width and one line high and grow taller.
    If no text and height specified, start at 1 char wide with the specified height and grow wider.
    If neither width nor height specified, and toFit lineBreaks, start at explicitMaxWidth, or default maxWidth of 160, and grow taller.
    If neither width nor height specified, and explicit lineBreaks width is unlimited and can grow taller.
    These are further constrained by min/max Width and Height except in the case that explicitWidth or explicitHeight are specified.
    - Change default maxWidth for RichText and SimpleText to 160 to match RET.  Previously it was 10000.  This is used for
    text with toFit lineBreaks if a width isn't specified.
    QA Notes: 12 or so TextGraphic tests fail because of the new default maxWidth.

  • Problems with the Widget "Text Ticker"

    Hello, I have a problem with the widget "Text ticker". I tried to put more then one text ticker on my site, but it doesn't work, when I look in Muse it looks like this:
    and when I look in the preview only the first text ticker works...maybe it is not possible to have more then one text ticker on one site?
    Thank you.

    It seems you are using the same name for all the ticker instances on page.
    You need to have unique names for each of the ticker you want on a single page. Tickers with duplicate names will not work.

  • Data Roaming Problems with Lumia 610 and 710 phone...

    Data Roaming problem with Lumia Wndows 7.5 phones.  We have a Lumia 710 and also 610 phones on Virgin pay monthly sim cards.  We cannot get data raoming to work on either phone.  We have tried in a number of locations in France and Switzerland. Virgin confirm roaming and data roaming are set up on our account.  
    - I have purchased Data Passes.  
    - Settings>Mobile Network active network shows current operator
    - Data Connection is on,
    - Data roaming option shows "roam",
     - highest connection speed is 3G,
     - network selection is automatic.
     - Flight mode is off.  
     - Account settings are ok because everything works on Wifi.
     - Connection has been full bars showing 3G.  
     - I have tried hard resets of phone, manual network selection, deleted browsing history,
     - phone software reports that it is up to date,
     - I have run Network Setup which confirms phone has been updated network settings for relevant operator.
     - Telephone calls to Virgin from Switzerland could not resolve the problem.  
     - Discussions with Virgin since returning home have not been able to solve the problem.  It seems to be an issue with Lumia phones. 
    Can anyone help please? Nokia - why doesn't this work on your phones?

    I'm like what an OS this phone has. All I can say is that if you own MS stock dump it fast as the OS on this phone is so bad its not even funny.
    I think what they are trying to do here is a last ditch attempt to capture the online services market but it isn't going to work, because they have made this OS to weird.
    I'm a pretty seasoned user and I generally am able to get gadgets to work but dudes this puppy is something else. I have 14 days to exchange it so Im going to give it my best shot for another couple of days and see where it goes.
    The phone itself is pretty decent otherwise I would have returned on the 2nd day. Its pretty fast and the screen is nice and bright and if not some major concerns I wouldn't be a complaining.
    1st} There is no way to import your bookmarks into the phone without using a online service.
    2nd} I haven't been able to successfully export my old contact list from my LG P500 Android.
    The 710 seems to only use contacts that are stored on online services even though I have imported my contacts using the Contact transfer function on the phone.
    3rd)The phone won't shut off while charging even if you shut the phone down , plug it in and it turns on no matter what you do.
    The Zune software is all glitter and no meat too unfortunately.
    I really wanted an alternative and the phone is such good value and a local new Provider has a 27 $ a month unlimited everything, but luckily they have a 14 day phone exchange policy.
    I'm going to keep for a few more days and see if I can get it to work the way i want it to.

  • Problem with multi-mapping

    Hello everybody,
    we got a problem with multi-mapping.
    Source and target message-type are the same:
    <xsd:element name="MY_MESSAGE_TYPE">
    _<xsd:element name="BUSTRANS">
    __<xsd:element name="CHILD_1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    ___<xsd:element name="SUB_CHILD_1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    ____<xsd:element name="SUB_CHILD_1_NAME" type="xsd:string">
    __<xsd:element name="CHILD_2" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    ___<xsd:element name="SUB_CHILD_2" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    ____<xsd:element name="SUB_CHILD_2_NAME" type="xsd:string">
    The requirements are:
    <xsd:element name="MY_MESSAGE_TYPE"> should be created as often as <xsd:element name="CHILD_2"..> occurs
    a) so we mapped
    CHILD_2 -> MY_MESSAGE_TYPE
    BUSTRANS -> CopyValue -> BUSTRANS
    CHILD_1  -> CopyValue -> CHILD_1
    SUB_CHILD_1 -> CopyValue -> SUB_CHILD_1
    SUB_CHILD_1_NAME -> CopyValue -> SUB_CHILD_1_NAME
    CHILD_2 -> splitByValue(eachValue) -> CHILD_2
    The problem is:
    If we duplicated
    a) SUB_CHILD_1
    b) subtree CHILD_2 (so 2 messages will be generated)
    for testing, SUB_CHILD_1 only occurs 1 time! But we need it in every target message as often as it occurs in the source message.

    Mario,
    <i>multimapping (split IDOC into several IDocs) is possible with IDocs. We did it!</i>
    Did you use IDOC packaging for this?
    AFAIK,when  you use multimapping that involves different adapters including one J2EE adapter and a IDOC adapter in the inbound side, multi mapping does not work.

  • Multiple Data Merge - Problem Resolve... Sort Of

    I've researched this issue all morning and found issues dating back to 2012 regarding the problems with Indesign's Multiple Record Data Merge. Many of the issues are answered with the basic set up. Create a new page as a single page and non facing page document. It appears that an earlier bug was resolved that caused data merge documents to be placed off center when produced. The issue that I was experiencing was similar to what I had seen but not covered or not answered when it appeared someone was posting a question about it.
    I started with a single page document, non-facing page, no initial text box, and sized to 8.5'' x 11''. I'm layout out name badges 10-up on a page. I had a previous template that had some graphics in the background for alignment purposes. I created a blank master page and a record holder for the name badge then loaded my data source, placed my data entries, and styled accordingly. Upon creating a data merge I selected Multiple Record and then previewed the data merge and positioned the elements on the page using the data merge controls top, left and column placement commands.
    The preview looked perfect. The problem came when I finished the final data merge. The resulting page was not correct and looked nothing like the preview. Records were strewn about the page and excessive amounts of pages were created. I spent 4 hours trouble shooting this, far more than this project was billed. At this point it was a mission. In a reply dated back around 2013 I found that someone had removed a layer from their document. I had no layers. The only thing that was not a part of the actual data merge was the graphics that I had on the page for positioning that were not tied to the data merge at all.
    I decided to delete these graphics and try to apply the data merge again. The results were perfect. I'm deducing from this experiment that the data merge needs to be done on a blank page. Which is counter productive to the Indesign mater page template. Any elements on the page need to exist as a a part of your data entry group and no other elements on the page. You only create one data entry group in the top corner of the page then use the data merge panel to position and duplicate. Otherwise, you will get a single page for each record you have with each record set 10-up in my case.
    Recap:
    Create a single non-facing page document with no intial text box. (if you have more than one page the Multiple Records option will be grayed out)
    Only have 1 layer in this document
    Set a single data entry set/group on the master page.
    Do not include any other graphics. Put them in after the data merge.
    Click the Create Merged Document button in the data merge panel
    Select "Multiple Records" from the drop down list
    Click the Multiple Record Layout tab at the top of the Data Merge panel
    Click "Preview Multiple Record Layout" at the bottom of the Data Merge panel so you can see the Entry Sets with the data in place
    Use the Margins and Layout or Records inputs to position the elements on the document (see note below)
    Click OK when everything is in place the way you like it.
    After the data merge is complete you will have a new document that should look like you want it to. Now you can go into this document and start adding your design elements.
    NOTE: Positioning the content without the base graphics can be tough if not impossible. What I did in this situation is placed my positioning guides on the page then went through Steps 1-9 to set up the document for merge. Once my settings were set I then clicked "Cancel" and deleted my positioning guides and graphics. The problem I was having was due to these elements being on the page. Once I created the document I then pasted my template guides back into the final data merged master page for production.
    Request to ADOBE: Fix this issue so we can design our layouts and position our data merge elements without having to backtrack.

    If you insist in multi-record data merge, you can have static/variable graphic and text components work. But, create a 3.5 x 2 frame (3.75 x 2.25 card w/bleed) around all of these components, and make sure nothing extends beyond this bounding frame. If the composition prevents you from enclosing all components, then make a PDF of content that is imported in as one graphic.
    Another suggestion: don't combine the functions of variable data merge with imposition.
    Create a 1up layout of business card to data merge the variable info.
    From this file, export to PDF.
    Then impose the individual cards with: an imposition app, PDF plug-in, Indesign script, or even manual placement into another document.

  • IDCS3: Data Merge Problems

    I have to admit, this is the first time I've tried the Data Merge function in InDesign. I have a pile of name badges that I need to get the names and departments on, but I've been running into some fun problems.
    I have a tab-delimited and a comma-separated version of my data from Excel (just an FYI, both versions do the same thing). I have my three columns, "FirstName", "LastName" and "Department". The layout in my InDesign document should be set up correctly. I have just one instance of my badge on the page.
    Where the problem is coming in is here. When I go to the "Create Merged Document..." option in the Data Merge palette, I have the "Records per Document Page" set to "Multiple Records." I then check the "Preview Multiple Record Layout" check box and the page populates with 8 of my name badges on the page. In the preview, all the names populate correctly on the preview page. Cool, that's what I need. But when I click "OK" and it begins the actual merge and creates the new document, what I get is the right number of name badges, but it's populated the text spaces with the information from line 16 of my data source on the entire document. It doesn't matter which version of the source I use or what information is on line 16. It always comes out with a complete document of just line 16's info on all the badges.
    I have screen shots of the three steps and what I'm seeing:

    http://www.insanityarts.com/tmp/02-Preview.jpg
    http://www.insanityarts.com/tmp/03-MergeError.jpg
    Is there something wrong that I'm missing? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    --Tim--

    Tim, you have taken all the proper steps for a Data Merge to work properly. You could try placing either of your tab-delimited or comma-separated files into another Indesign document, and then show hidden characters to reveal any unusual characters that might be lurking around line 16. If you do discover any abnormalities, you can clean it up, and then export a text file to be used as your data source.

  • Linking Data Merge Field with JavaScript for PDF link

    Hello everyone,
    I am using the data merge in InDesign to generate a PDF with data from a data source file. The data merge will populate a Product Number field. I want to write a script that will modify the Product Number field to contain a JavaScript Link in the resulting PDF.
    For example, the product number [1234-567] will launch: app.launchURL("plsddr://localhost/1234-567|*", true); when the Product Number link is clicked on in the resulting PDF.
    Can anyone provide an example on how this could be done, or point me in the right direction? If there is a better way to go about this, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    What findText returns is a list of Text, but that's totally interchangeable with Word. It appears InDesign can switch at will between Characters, Words, Lines, Paragraphs, and Stories.
    Text can consist of one single SpecialCharacter (a column break, or a hard return, or any of the SpecialCharacters enumeration), or of a standard JavaScript "String" object -- a simple Unicode string.
    The property that 'holds' the text is "contents" -- so, adding all of this up, to 'get' the text that has been found, you'd typically use
    next = list.pop();
    alert ("The text contents of this one is '"+next.contents+"'");
    and you can build further on that -- using it as a HyperlinkDestination URL, or something like that. The Text item -- 'next' -- still points to the 'live' text it was found at, so be careful not to modify it. Doing something like
    next.contents = 'hey what happened';
    will change the actual text in your document. But it's also useful to add, for example, a hyperlink to the actual position this text was found on.
    (A tip regarding changes: if you are to change your document, the original items findText pointed to will be messed up after you changed the first one! To prevent that, work backwards from the last item found to the first. findText(true) will reverse the order of found items, from last to first -- see the JS Help on that.)
    As for
    (Also, how do you print the contents of a Word object?)
    that depends on what you mean with 'print' . To a printer?

  • Master page spread - data merge problem

    ok - I  prematurely posted b4 that I could successfully do this but am stuck with one  problem that is a show stopper.
    I have  a master page spread [left and right pages] which has several fields which I populate on  over 200 pages with data merge. I got this to work ok but teh snag is  that the merge only works  on teh first master page - and since InDesig automatically starts with a right hand page - this would be teh 2nd page of my spread - I can get  both pages to merge data correclty but I wind up with  a starting right hand page - then a left hand page  facing a right hand page which is not for hte same record but the record below it. Is tehre any way aroudn this? Is tehre any way I can force inDesign to start with a  left hand page?

    mdsys.sdo_geometry(2007, 900001, NULL, mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1, 1003, 1, 125, 1003, 1, 489, 1003, 1, 739, 1003, 1, 825, 1003, 1, 941, 1003, 1, 1209, 1003, 1, 1237, 1003, 1, 1369, 1003, 1, 1511, 1003, 1, 1551, 1003, 1, 1727, 1003, 1, 2445, 1003, 1, 2547, 1003, 1, 3829, 1003, 1, 3937, 1003, 1, 4085, 1003, 1, 4095, 1003, 1, 4583, 1003, 1, 6149, 1003, 1, 6379, 1003, 1, 6433, 1003, 1, 6465, 1003, 1, 6485, 1003, 1, 6559, 1003, 1, 6577, 1003, 1, 6607, 1003, 1, 6773, 1003, 1, 6793, 1003, 1, 6807, 1003, 1, 6825, 1003, 1, 6833, 1003, 1, 6855, 1003, 1, 6885), mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array(235180.1, 1269688.5, 235179.9, 1269684.4, 235180.6, 1269680.3, 235182.1, 1269676.7, 235184.2, 1269673.3, 235187, 1269670.4, 235190.3, 1269668.1, 235194, 1269666.5, 235197.8, 1269665.6, 235200.8, 1269665.5, 235205.5, 1269666.8, 235230.8, 1269673.6, 235242.3, 1269676.5, 235261.8, 1269681.2, 235270.1, 1269683.2, 235281, 1269685.6, 235296.1, 1269689, 235335.7, 1269696.8, 235368.9, 1269702.5, 235372.8, 1269703.5, 235376.4, 1269705.4, 235379.5, 1269707.8, 235382.2, 1269710.9, 235384.1, 1269714.5, 235385.3, 1269718.3, 235385.7, 1269722.6, 235385.4, 1269726.3, 235384.2, 1269730.2, 235382.3, 1269733.7, 235379.9, 1269736.7, 235370.9, 1269745.9, 235357.1, 1269760.7, 235342.1, 1269778.7, 235332.3, 1269791.1, 235323.8, 1269802.8, 235320.4, 1269807.5, 235313.4, 1269818, 235309.4, 1269824, 235307.2, 1269827.6, 235304.5, 1269830.5, 235301.3, 1269832.8, 235297.7, 1269834.3, 235293.9, 1269835.2, 235289.8, 1269835.2, 235286.1, 1269834.4, 235282.4, 1269832.9, 235279.1, 1269830.6, 235278.1, 1269829.8, 235276.2, 1269825.5, 235274, 1269820.9))

    The elem_info_array for the multi-polygon is obviosuly wrong:
    mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1, 1003, 1, 125, 1003, 1, 489, 1003, 1, 739, 1003, 1, 825, 1003, 1, 941, 1003, 1, 1209, 1003, 1, 1237, 1003, 1, 1369, 1003, 1, 1511, 1003, 1, 1551, 1003, 1, 1727, 1003, 1, 2445, 1003, 1, 2547, 1003, 1, 3829, 1003, 1, 3937, 1003, 1, 4085, 1003, 1, 4095, 1003, 1, 4583, 1003, 1, 6149, 1003, 1, 6379, 1003, 1, 6433, 1003, 1, 6465, 1003, 1, 6485, 1003, 1, 6559, 1003, 1, 6577, 1003, 1, 6607, 1003, 1, 6773, 1003, 1, 6793, 1003, 1, 6807, 1003, 1, 6825, 1003, 1, 6833, 1003, 1, 6855, 1003, 1, 6885)
    The last entry should be something like: 6885,1003,1; instead it is just 6885.
    So the problem might be with sdo_aggr_union as it seems to be creating an invalid geometry.
    Can you post the data you used in generating this geometry with sdo_aggr_union ?

  • Measurement data and problem with path selection

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the measurement data function; My instrument is the "Hyoki 3532-50 LCR meter".
    I´m tring to save the data in a text file using the "write to measurement file VI" . From the instrument i receive an array containing the data of the measure and then i use a for loop to obtain the single data obtainig the dynamic data necessary like input in the VI function. 
    The problem is that i receive ( for example) the Rp data and the Cp data in two separate moment and the result using the VI is something like
    1      56
    2      68
    3      95
    1      0,12
    2      0,30
    3      0,56
    (this is a stupid example to explain my situation)
    What i would like to obtain is 
    1      56   0,12
    2      68   0,30
    3      95   0,56
    The fact that i can+t receive all the three dynamic data in the same moment present also the problem that i don´t have the possibility to save in a different file every time i start the measure but to do it i have to reset the labview program ( this is due to the fact that in the property  i select "ask only once" because otherwise if i select " ask at each iteration" the second data flow overwrite the file) .
    If you need some image from code i can provide them 

    You really need to attach some code. We are graphical programmers and don't undestand longwinded text explanation
    Also the code images you attached earlier are useless. The abundance of local variables, stacked sequences, express VIs, and dead code make them impossible to debug by looking at a picture.

  • Cs3 indesign data merge problem

    usung csv from mac numbers spread sheet
    it has 2 columns @photo and numbers ( this column has sequential numbers)
    i create the datamerge no problem at all except
    some of the panels have no photos but do have the number
    how can i delete the data that has no photo
    i have tried going to my csv filea nd deleting the row that has no photo or there was something wrong with the image
    same problem
    i have tried deleting the file row --that is the  row that numbers created--same problem
    any help is appreciated
    peter

    made one more attempt and it is obvious i am missing a crucial step--  bear
    with me
    all done on desktop so no path is needed
    i go to iphoto and drag 12 photos into my spreadsheet  ( mac numbers)
    in column a  called @photo--i have left a few rows on top blank and called
    the column @photo
    i created column b and entered sequentially the number of the row which
    corresponds to the photo column
    data saved in csv format
    i go to id
    create a new document
    create 8 x 11 inch document
    create guides 2 rows 2 columns
    in row1 column 1 i create a box and below it in the same panel another box
    i start data merge
    select data--data csv file is found
    i select one of the boxes and select @photo
    and in the other box number
    i select in datamerge options
    multiple records per page
    and select ok
    numbers show up but not photos
    i have gone thru tutorial and others on this--- i know i am doing something
    right as my other attempts semi work
    hope i am not being a pia but it is a pain--i understand about the path but
    i keep all my images and data in the same directory so i understand no path
    is needed
    i keep wondering do the blank rows on top of the column create this problem?
    take care

  • Problem with bullets in text boxes

    Hi,
    I haven't seen this problem written up anywhere but I am
    having problems with my text formatting differently in text boxes
    when I've used bullets in the text. I am using Captivate 2.
    So here's what happens:
    If the text caption has a bullet
    anywhere in the body, when I publish my captivate course, the text
    looks like normal 12 pt Arial.
    If there is a text box without any bullets, the text looks
    like it was bolded.
    The next result is that I have two types of body text
    throughout my course.
    I went into every slide and verified that there is no other
    text formatting going on and I did find that Impact was sometimes
    in the same text boxes where I had bullets but I finally got rid of
    all the impact. However, the problem remains. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Lin

    Hi Lin and welcome to our community
    My guess here is that you are using the Transparent caption
    type. When you do this, the caption anti-aliases the text inside
    and many claim it looks either bold or fuzzy. You have two options.
    1. Use Bullets on all captions. Don't worry, you don't have
    to actually SEE the bullets. Just press Enter a few times and apply
    bullets to one of the blank lines. Then size the caption so the
    bullet part is hidden from view.
    2. Implement a trick discovered by fellow Adobe Community
    Expert Paul Dewhurst. You can see his trick by

    Hopefully one of these works for you... Rick
