How can I use data merge, within a master, within a book?

Hi all,
I am producing an 84pp catalogue for multiple brands.
I have it set up as:
1x .indd document per spread
Master styles within one .indd document for black text, white text etc.
Book setup to contain all of the .indd files to make up the 84pp book
Now, my problem is I have to change the footer text and references depending on the brand, so I can have the footers saying 'Call Brand A on 123 4567' or 'Call Brand B on 567 1234' and have various in-text references change from Brand A to Brand B and vice versa.
I have a data merge on each of the masters in my .indd style source looking at a simple .csv of:
Brand Name
URL
Phone Number
Brand A
www.branda.com
0800 123 4567
Brand B
www.brandb.com
0800 567 1234
This works fine on the masters within the source .indd.
But, when I close this master style source and go into another .indd document within the book (after synchronising) I see the <<Brand Name>> container but, when I export the documents it does not populate the book with the data - it keeps the containers.
Obviously with a normal in-document Data Merge you'd click 'Create Merged Document' but I don't want to export each page, and I have PDF print presets / .joboptions file with settings for the book.
Any advice on how to get this to work?
Thanks!
Andy

I'm not really following the workflow here, but this seems like it might be better suited to Conditional Text than to Data Merge.

How can I use mail merge with numbers in the new pages version?

I am trying to use mail merge with the new version of pages and can not seem to be able to figure it out. PLEASE HELP!!!

Nope. Version 5 is a fashion accessory: it looks like software, but it doesn;t actually do anything. Sort of like a sports car with a lawn-mower engine. Looks snzzy. Doesn't really work. (And given how buggy it is, I should further specifiy that the lawn-mower engine comes with a blade: it chews up your old templates, produces files that cannot be sent as email attahcments [yes, really], and—this just in—doesn;t play well with the new SMB facility of Mavericks. In short, as one reviewer put it, "un unmitigated disaster."

Can i use data merge with pdf images in indesign?

Hi need to do a data merge but with pdf's not jpg or tifs. I am having the result with jpgs but not with pdf's.
Can i do it with pdf's?

in fact that is not a problem because i have both pdfs same size and orientated, the only thing is that i cannot use the pdf docs for some reason.
eg. in the csv file i have (this is not working)
Field 1                                      Field2
'@background                          '@page

Machintosh HD:bg1.psd           Machintosh HD:page1.psd
I would like to use the pdf file is there a different way to do so?

4. Enter Service URI of in OData Connection Details
5. After "Test Connection", press "Finish" or click "Next" to view Summary.
6. Right click "Yourproject" node under "OData Connection", select connection. You will see "Entities"
7. Expand "ODataEntities", right click "Entityset", select "Agentry: Connector Studio\Object Wizard for OData".
8. Select a module to add odata connection, click "Next"; and click "Next"; and click "Next"
9. Check "Add", "Edit" and "Delete" on "Transaction Selection" screen.
10. Create your own screenset and platform as required.
11. Test the changes.

How can I use "date modified" from metadata to date iphoto events?

I am very frustrated trying to move photos from windows to iMac. I have a number of photos, all of them have some metadata with date created and date modified. This worked well in Picasa in Windows and kept everything in order. Now it seems iphoto will not read date modified or assigns date created (if there is no date in the metadata) as the date everything was switched over. I looked over some of the wrongly organized photos (there are thousands) and realized that under the old sustem, Picasa in windows must have used either date created or date modified, which ever came earlier or perhaps whichever was available. In iphoto, it doesn't read "date modified" or does this crazy thing where even if the modification date is before the creation date, puts all photos in the order or when they were brought over from windows. I have a lot of photos dated September 18 -- thousands.
Is there any way to get either iphoto or some other program (I'm not terribly impressed by iphoto) that will properly organize the photos in an imac environment. In other words, I want a program to look at (1) creation date or (2) modification date (which-ever is earlier).
Even Picasa is now confused (in the mac envirnoment).
Thanks,
Mark

No, as this is file metadata not photo metadata.
You can adjust the date and time using the Photos -> Adjust Date and Time or even the Photos -> Batch Change command.

How can I use UC4 instead of SSIS Master Package deployed using project deployment model?

Hi Folks,
My team is planning to opt UC4 for scheduling the SQL Jobs and I have to come up with a plan to integrate it.
As of now, I do not have software licence in place to do some research.
If you have worked on it, can you tell me that how can I schedule SSIS packages using UC4.
Also, we are using SSIS project parameters (Project deployment Model). What kind of changes I have to make in SSIS packages to support UC4. Is it possible to pass parameters to SSIS package through UC4? If not, is there any alternativ?
Appreciate your help!

How can you use the Keyboard for a JComboBox within a JTable without F2

I am brand new to Java and I can't seem to figure this out. I have a JTable with 4 columns. The first column is a jCheckBox which is working fine. The other three are JComboBoxes. They work fine when you click them and select from the list, but our end users only want to navigate with the keyboard. They want to be able to tab to the column and just start typing the first letter of the item that they want to choose from the list and have that pop up the list and scroll to the first item in the list that starts with the letter the typed. Does anyone know how to do this? I have been playing with this for a week now and I can't seem to make it work. Please help. Below is the code for my table. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks,

HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

Hi Saramos,
When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
Family purchases and payments
When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -

How can i use connection pool within the sqlj?

hello
i am a beginner to sqlj,i find all of the sample code from the oracle DON'T use connectionpool,they only write the database url to "connection.properties" file,but i think in the production environment we should use the connectionpool to optimise the querying,i usually use the weblogic connection pool.
how can i use the connection pool within the sqlj?
thank you very much!

Im not sure if I understand. :)
English is not my best language...
Looking up the connection again? Do you mean I have to create new DataSource object and bind it again to ServletContext?

How can I use table control to enter data

Hi all,
I want to use table control to enter data, instead of using textboxes.
So that the user can enter many data at once and just click the save button at the end of the work, only one click.

How can I use "write to spreadsheet" during the data is taking but not the end of all the loops

Hi,
I have to run an experiment on Labview 6 or 5. I don't have Labview 7 on that computer for some reason. My experiment is talking about 1000 hours, and I have a probelm on storing the data. Right now I am using "Write to spread sheet" and I set the "append" to false. And the data is installed at the end of the experiment, that means after 1000 hours. In the mean time if somthing oges wrong like power cut or what, I will lose all the data. So what I want to do is to save the data evertime when the data is took. I tired to set the "append" to true, but it does not let me to choose the "file path"--- when I choose this and select write on new or excisting file, it said" you may not be able to save on a exciting file" and it does not let me create a new file either. If anyone have the lidea like how can I use the "wrtie to spreadsheet" function and at the same time can install the data everytime inside the look, please let me know. Thanks alot.
KL

KL,
It sounds like you want to periodically save your data so it is in smaller files. (great idea) For this operation you will not want to append the data...if something happens to your system while the file is open it could become corrupt and ruin all the data. You need to write the new block of data to a new file every time. Now...this depends on how big your data is...if you only have like 500k of data to write in a block you should probably write several blocks before starting a new file. I don't know enough about how much data you are acquiring. In either case...the write to spreadsheet file.vi will need a different name each time it is called and you will not want to append. Append = false.
