Need help with InDesign Data Merge

I have set up a 5 x 8 postcard to print two up. When I use the multiple records option expecting to get two different addresses per page, it does not work. I get one address per page repeated twice. It also shifts all the graphi content of my postcard over about two inches to the right. Am I misunderstanding how the multiple records option is supposed to work? I am not using a multiple page document.

To do multiple records per page you must have only one set of placeholders set up. ID will duplicate everything on the page.

  • I need help with Indesign.

    I am working on a book project using Indesign 1.5. I have got a new computer. Installation of the Indesign software was problem free but when i open my book project i have a problem that i can not figure out.
    When i put the marker in the middel of a text and pressing the enter tab, to move it down a line,  the text after the marker disappear and a red + showing at the bottom of the text box.
    I will appresiate it a lot if anyone can give me help with this set up problem!

    Try pressing the primary Enter key to the right of the Home Row, not the Enter key in the number pad. If that doesn’t work, look at your paragraph spacing options wherever the paragraph formatting is in that version. Space Above or Space Below might be set too high.
    In the future, please both use a more appropriate subject line and provide your platform. This forum is for people needing help with InDesign, so “I need help with Indesign” is just as helpful as leaving the subject line blank. We’re here to help you.

  • Hi, I need help with the dates of plugins added to my browser

    Hi I need to know what date a plugin was installed on my browser.
    openh264 / video codec provided by cisco systems.
    If you can't help, please point me in the direction of someone who can?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    The new "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc." plugin that now shows up in the Firefox Add-ons Manager Plugins list was added in Firefox 33.0. It's installed in a subfolder of your [[Profiles|Firefox profile folder]], which you can confirm by typing '''about:plugins''' in the Firefox address bar to bring up a list of installed plugins (details [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins here]) and checking its "Path" entry .
    The first link in the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/33.0/releasenotes/ Firefox 33.0 release notes] under What’s New, has this:
    '''New''' | [http://andreasgal.com/2014/10/14/openh264-now-in-firefox/ OpenH264 support] * (sandboxed)

    <blockquote> Note: Firefox currently uses OpenH264 only for WebRTC and not for the <nowiki><video></nowiki> tag, because OpenH264 does not yet support the high profile format frequently used for streaming video. We will reconsider this once support has been added. </blockquote>

  • Need help with InDesign 2.02

    I have an old version of InDesign: InDesign 2.02. It is quitting when I open it, telling me that I have a conflict with Text Wrap plugins, and to remove one of them, which I did, without success. I also used my Mac disc utility app and cleared up any problems that might have occurred with the hard drive. Also, I would like to upgrade to the next InDesign version, but don't even know what to upgrade to. Can someone help here? I have a 2003 IMac running OS 10.4.11.

    Given those hardware and budget constraints, I'd try to fix the existing system.
    First do a Finder search for Text Wrap plugins.
    There should be exactly three (the path to the InDesign folder may differ)
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2/Required/Text Wrap
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2/Required/Text Wrap Path
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2/Plug-Ins/Layout/Text Wrap Panel
    Eventually it is sufficient to log in as a different user, and launch InDesign from there.
    Then clean your preferences. Take Peter's instructions below with a grain of salt - ID2 will differ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
    I think the keyboard shortcuts to purge prefs have only been added with InDesign 3 (CS1).
    More desparate measures:
    Remove (archive, or at least rename) the useless old InDesign installation before you retry the Installer.
    If nothing else helps:
    Do you have any spare disk (i.e. external firewire) or separate internal volume that you could use for a clean OS and InDesign install? There are cheap FW to SATA adapters that you could use for a new disk, most budget disks today internally have SATA. Back in that time I was only using Laptops, so I do not know whether your system already has the faster USB2. If so use that, you'd then not need FW.

  • Need help with enhanced data source in Production system

    Hello Gurus,
    1.                  I enhanced a datasource in BW and populated the field using customer exit using CMOD function. In Dev system, i dont have much data, so I deleted the whole data and did full load.
    what shud I do in Production side, so that Delta wudnt be affected??since in production, we have millions of records, we wont do full load., what is the best way to populate the field in production after transporting the datasource to production without disturbing delta's, to reflect the new field for previous years data???
    2.  can we put 0customer and 0material in the same dimension?? how its going to affect the performance?
    Thanks in advance.,
    Best Regards,
    Pavan

    Hi,
    Please see this
    1.
    see this thread
    populated the new field with historic data
    2. can we put 0customer and 0material in the same dimension?? how its going to affect the performance?
    Its better not to use them in a single dimension  because one customer and take more than one material so if you have 100 customer and 1000 materials  this combination will generate a large number of records. Its always better to keep characteristic which are having 1:N relation ship in one dimensional in you  case customer and material will have an M:N type of relationship.which will result in slow performance.

  • Need help with Rollback data if there is error in Data load

    Hi All,
    We are trying to load data to Oracle 11g database. We want a trigger, procedure or something like that to rollback the data if there are errors in load. Is it possible to do rollback after all the records has been parsed ? So if we try to load 100 records and if there are 30 records with error, we want to rollback after all the 100 records are parsed.
    Please advice.

    >
    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that option. So currently we are only loading data that is validated and erroneous records are rejected using trigger. So we don't get any invalid data in table. But Now users are saying that all the records should be rejected if there is even one error in the data load.
    >
    I generally use a much simpler solution for such multi-stage ETL processes.
    Each table has a IS_VALID column that defaults to 'N'. Each step of the process only pulls data with the flag set to 'Y'.
    That allows me to leave data in the table but guarantee that it won't be processed by subsequent stages. Since most queries that move data from one stage to another ultimately have to read table rows (i.e. they can't just use indexes) it is not a performance issue to add a predicate such as "'AND IS_VALID = 'Y'" to the query that accesses data.
    1. add new unvalidated data - automatically flagged an invalid by default of 'N" on IS_VALID column
    2. run audit step #1 - capture the primary key/rowid of any row failing the audit.
    3. run audit steps #2 through #n - capture error row ids
    4. Final step - update the data setting IS_VALID to 'Y' only if a row passes ALL audits: that is, only if there are NO fatal errors for that row captured in the error table.
    That process also allows me to capture every single problem that any row has so that I can produce reports for the business users that show everything that is wrong with the data. There are some problems that the business wan't to ignore, others that can be fixed in the staging tables then reprocessed and others that are rejected since they must be fixed in the source system and that can take several days.
    For data that can be fixed in the staging tables the data is fixed and then the audit is rerun which will set the IS_VALID flag to 'Y' allowing those 'fixed' rows to be included in the data that feeds the next processing stage.

  • Need help with converting date format to decimal in SSRS expression.

    Hi all,
    I have a decimal data type column with a record in the following format 20150219 --> yyyyMMdd. And I am trying to convert the return value from SSRS date/time parameter to a decimal value.

  • Need help with recovering data from a truecrypt HDD

    I have done something stupid, I have run fdisk on my truecrypt hdd by mistake, and created 2 new partition. the 1st one on 67mb and the 2sd for the rest of the hdd.
    Can someone plz help me with restoring the data? I am not really sure there to begin.

    Get testdisk.  I use Parted Magic to recover partitions with Testdisk.  So long as you can decrypt the resurrected partitions AND provided you have NOT written to those two partitions after they were fdisk'ed you should be able to recover from this mess.  I really recommend PartedMagic for this sort of thing only because it has a good interface and a lot of other tools in one place.
    Testdisk isn't hard to use and there are mini-tutorials out there if you're really stuck such as these links from our wiki:
    Testdisk and Photorec

  • I need help with 'Documents & Data' taking up all the space on my iPhone

    Hello, I have searched for days on the internet for a way to solve my problem but nothing and I really mean NOTHING seems to work at all.
    I can't buy any software either.
    When I go into Settings>iCloud Documents &  Data are off and have been off all the time. Yet I STILL have Documents &  Data taking up 5 GB of my phone and I don't have much space either.
    I have hopelessly tried deleting most of my messages and NONE and I mean NONE of the space has been given to me, nothing changed but my messages completely disappeared. No I do not use iCloud and I have the latest software updates. My phone is not jailbroken. I even tried deleting most of my apps and installing them again but that didn't work either. Photos take a small amount of space on my iPhone.
    I really hope someone can help me this is a really big issue for me and I do not fancy resetting the phone back to its Factory settings.
    I am new to the apple forum so sorry if this isn't in the right category or something. Thank you in advance. I also do not really fancy going all the way to the centre of the city to go to a Genius Bar.
    By the way, a few minutes ago I tried backing up my iPhone and syncing it again and a message popped out telling me that I need additional 4 GB of space in order to let it sync and I do not understand this, Documents & Data take more and more of my space every time I look. Also all the messages I delete come right back when I turn the phone on and off.

    Hi demolitonlovers,
    If you have unaccounted for data taking up storage space on your iPhone, you may find the following articles helpful in identifying what is taking up the space and how to remove it:

  • Need help with InDesign interactive PDF

    Ive created an interactive pdf through InDesign Digital Publishing. When I preview it in the folio builder everything is working the way I set it up. But when I publish and go to adobe's Digital Publishing to view it, only a few pages will show. I tried sharing it with another and they can only view two of the 10 pages. And the 2 pages they see do not work well. I was in CS6 and am upgrading to Cloud hoping that might help? Any ideas of what im doing wrong?

    This is my first file I have built in InDesign's Digital Publishing Layout. I built it as an iPad format horizontal and vertical layouts in one file. I added it as an article to one folio (first as pdf and also tried automatic). I created it with buttons, some basic animation (images that fade from one to another). Pretty basic stuff. When I go to view it in the folio builder or folio layers it is fine. When I click on folio producer it sends me to: https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/app.html#x=folioproducer to view the "content" which isn't all there. And that is what is seen on the iPad.  Does that make sense? I new to this and obviously doing something wrong. Thanks for any advice to get this to work.

  • Need help with saving data

    I recently started studying in IT at college, and I think I have the basics in Java programming, however we haven't
    been taught how to save data in our apps, so everytime i close my app, I lose all changes.
    I went through Sun's IO tutorial, as well as a few tutorials online and I made a small application to practice saving my
    Objects, however I can't seem to get it to work. I was hoping someone could look at my code and tell me what seems
    to be my problem.
    There are 3 classes in my project. The Base class makes a List that holds objects of type Person. the UIPerson class
    has 3 buttons (Add, Save, Load) and a JList. When clicking on Add, it adds a new Person in the base and is shown in
    the JList. The saving and loading is what I have trouble with.
    UIPerson :
    public class UIPerson extends JFrame implements Serializable{
         private JFrame jFrame = null; 
         private JPanel jContentPane = null;
         private JButton jbAdd = null;

  • Need help with importing data in partition table

    Hi,
    DB:8.1.7
    OS: win 2003 server
    I have a table which is 4.5GB in size. I created a new partition table,with local indexes. I exported the original table with all indexes,triggers and procedures.
    After creating the empty partitioned table,i imported the dump file. The data isn't loaded. My questions are:
    1) Will the indexes be overwritten?
    2) Will the data go automatically in allocated partitions?
    3) Do i need to export only table data ignoring indexes,triggers etc?
