Adding data field placeholders to master pages

If you insert data field placeholders on master pages, you have advantages that are not available when you insert

placeholders on document pages:

• The resulting merged document contains the original placeholders on its master pages and includes the merged

results on document pages as overridden master page items.

• The merged document maintains a connection to the data source, so if records in the data source are modified,

you can update the merged document contents by choosing Update Content In Data Fields. This option is

source.

• The settings in the Create Merged Document dialog box are the same as those used in the target document, so you

can quickly re-create the current document with the same appearance. You can also use these shared settings to

create an identical document with a different data source, or create a new document with a slightly modified

layout.

a master containing data fields to the first page of the document.

Important: If an error message indicates that InDesign cannot merge the document because no placeholders are present,

you may have added the placeholders to the left master page in a one-page document. Page 1 is based on the right master

page, so add the placeholders to the right master page.

Update, remove, or replace data source files

• To update data source files, edit and save the data source file in comma- or tab-delimited format, and then choose

Update Data Source from the Data Merge panel.

The changes will be reflected in the Data Merge panel. If the changes are not reflected in the document after

updating, deselect Preview to turn it off, and then select Preview again to turn it back on.

• Toswitchtoanewdatasourcefile,chooseSelectDataSourcefromtheDataMergepanelmenu,andthenspecify

the new data source file. InDesign may not recognize some of the fields. In this situation, it’s best to delete and

reinsert placeholder fields.

If you generate a merged document from a target document in which data fields appeared on master pages, you can

update the data fields in the merged document.

Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap

Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
