Multi disc layout data merge in the unique text box

Is it possible to merge the content of a CSV into a single text field? Currently using CS3.

CSVmerge.png

I did something similar in the past. My process was to import Excel into a database, such as one that is available with NeoOffice (Mac) / OpenOffice (PC).  From there on, I exported a record of the fields in the order I want them to appear.

Maybe it's not a necessary step for you, but for me, there was a lot of additional data in the excel file that I didn't need... and there are over 100,000 rows of data that I had to get out into regions by the State, etc.

In InDesign, I used a series of paragraph with 'Next' Style styles to form a sequence corresponding to the configuration of the records.

For example, with your example, I can see two styles of paragraphs with nested styles.

Style of business (with the business in the following Style address) name

Style of address of business (with the trade name as following Style)

Business address would have a nested style

Blue character style "BOLD" - to - 1 - (ball)

[No] - through - 1 - end nested Style

There were a few required cleanup of import, but once this was done, I could select the content in the history, just right-click on the style (brand name) and select "apply, then style following" to have the entire list quickly format.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to enter data into the URL text box.

    Firefox crashes whenever I try to add data in the URL text box or the text box search in the toolbar. When it freezes it also locks on the Task Manager.

  • y at - it a keyboard shortcut for go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the address bar?

    I can use Alt + D to reach the address bar to enter a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page was opened, using a shortcut key? I have the commands in the shortcut keys page doesn't recognize as not being what I want.

    Not as far as I know. Sites may assign a keyboard shortcut to a text field if they like, known as an AccessKey, but he is not necessarily going to be any consistency, and the site you may not be using one.

    It is possible, there could be an add-on or userscript to help with this. Or otherwise, someone might be able to write one for a particular site.

  • Text run horizontally through the two text boxes

    I am trying to run the text between the two areas of text, but in a continuous manner. Essentially, we have disclosed no claimed that crosses a spread. Someone, that is created is no longer here, two text boxes (one on each page) and has managed to take the text where the first line in the first text box has continued in the second text box and then wrapped into the first text box and then continued in the second text box and so on.

    So with the paragraph above text might hit the left text box to "Essentially" and continue to "we" the first line of the text on the right box. Go overboard and then to the second line of the left text box continuing to the second line of the text on the right box. And so on. I can't understand what they have done, but I'm sure it's something simple in InDesign.

    Note: these are areas of unique text, not two columns in a text box.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I see it. The text is flowing the way it does in mine. Who are soft return characters at the end of each line in the first screenshot, and # is a marker of the end of history. The lines were manually arranged and set frame on the left. This means that if you add a few words it will crumble.

  • Cannot change the properties of online text in the scrolling text box

    I have a simple text box with a UIScrollBar component added to it.

    Text box properties are on "enter text, multi line.

    The problem is when I want to change a single line of text to a "BOLD" or a different color, changing the content of the entire text box. I tried the setting of the different property for the text box itself with no luck.

    Is this possible? I have to use AS3?

    I would really appreciate help!

    Thank you!!!

    Steve

    If you change the html true property - either by using the property inspector or code if you are working with code - then you should be able to have different styles in a text box. This is the property that you tried and it didn't work so I need to learn more about how you try to apply the formatting.

    In cases concerning need it AS3... In general, I would say that if you do not have an overwhelming need to AS2 so you should use AS3. It has nothing to do with the text of no!

  • Open dialog box reorganizes the files that appear in the file text box

    I asked about this problem for a while - it still exists under Windows 7 Microsoft apparent feels that it is the correct behavior. In an application using a dialog open, where multiple files can be selected by clicking on them, while the CTRL key is held down, the resulting list of file names appears in the file text box. However, the first clicked file name remains last in the list while others remain in the proper order. Why is this? (An example of application is Windows Media Player, where you do a right click, then click on file and then open. The open dialog box appears and allows the selection of multiple files). When this "feature" has been more boring, it's when I try to create a CD or DVD and I want to control the order of the files.

    Hello RickL - CaryNC, welcome.

    This feature is by design. Of course, you can select the files in reverse order. I would really recommend providing feedback about this here:

    Other than that, unless you use an alternative shell, the feature is a design problem. Ryan Thieman

  • Value display trace in the dynamic text box

    Hey just work on an exercise and I can't understand the code to display the value of the trace in a dynamic text box.

    The following code generates exactly where I am at this time.

    Import 12345678910111213import;

    import flash.text.TextField;

    Basic color picker (based pixel)

    var myColourBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData (500 400, false, 0xFFFFFF * Math.random ());

    var myColourBitmapImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap (myColourBitmapData);

    Add to list

    addChild (myColourBitmapImage); Add to the scene

    Get colors

    var pixelValue:uint = myColourBitmapData.getPixel (85,62); color of the pixel at X, Y

    displayed in the output window

    trace (pixelValue.toString (16)); toString (16) converts uint in a number of Hexadecimel format

    Here are a few screens, I want the values of trace output to appear next to the text in the dynamic text box

    Picture 4.png

    Picture 6.png

    I'm not sure of how to call the pixelValue to my text box, any help would be appreciated!

    Before or after the line that begins with «trace...» ' set dynamicTextFieldInstanceName.text = pixelValue.toString (16); Replace dynamicTextFieldInstanceName with the actual name that you gave to the dynamic textfield.

    There is an error in your output window. It seems that you have not integrated a font in the dynamic textField.

  • Illustrator CS5 - removal of the empty text boxes

    I always found it difficult to choose the type that I want when I use the text tool to edit text. I can click directly on the type, but I guess I'm a zillionth of a pixel off because about half of the time, it assumes I want to make a new text box. If my documents are littered with boxes of invisible empty type, which often get grouped with other objects, causing a lot of problems. I would like to know:

    1. how to make it easier to choose the type.

    2. how to remove all the empty text boxes. I remember hearing in an integrated way to do this, which indicates Adobe knows that this is a problem, but rather than the easier type selections, they give us a shortcut to undo the problem they have caused. In any case, I forgot the shortcut.

    Thanks for any help,

    Dave

    Try it Select > object > Eparses Points control. It should recognize the empty text objects.

  • Data merge is the mix of my data fields

    Hello

    I use the merging of data for several years without problem. In the past months, I have problems with this tool. It's mixing up of my data fields in the layout page is completely unusable.

    The strange thing is dat the preview where you can navigate through folders is my correct data reading. If I run the data fusion with multiple records of all data is mixed in the layout.

    Please Adobe! Difficulty this thing because it is very important in my workflow.

  • InDesign CS4 Excel data merge on the master page problem

    Hi all

    I had the following problem with an automated data merge document. He reads only the first row of cells in the document. That's what I did.

    Examples of data

    Excel

    Colum A Cel A1: Articlenummer

    Cel A2 12345

    Cel A3 5465

    Colum B Cel B1 Description

    Cel B2 Test 1

    Cel B3 Test 2

    Barcode Colum C Cel C1

    Cel C2 90000

    Cel C3 900001

    On the master page, I made a layout with the folling containers. The diagram below is for 1 item.

    Text for Articlenummer container

    Contatiner text for Description

    For the barcode text container

    I copied the three containers on the page which resulted in the master page with 40 containers for each item.

    I went data merge and connected the TXT document to the first set of containers. InDesign reads the data and place it correctly. But Indesign doenst copy the data in the row of the cell in the following sets of containters. If I connect the document to the next set of containers that indesign don't bed that the data of the first line of the cell which results in a document that contains only the same data.

    Somehelp with that does

    Best regards

    Phillip

    I suspect what happens, that's what I described in my previous post, PARAGRAPH:

    «Indesign takes what he considers a "record" what on the page, that is from the top left to the bottom right of the page, any indesign objects can enter it considers only a record.»

    It's a little hard to explain so I'll demonstrate in images using a simple merge

    If the finished merger looks like

    but, if a chart is placed on the same page (whether the page master or not, doesn't matter) this is where things can go wrong

    but this is easily seen in the preview

    so, when you perform a merge of data with multiple records, the data of the variable must be treated separately to static data (items that will be on every page as a background, or in this example, the smiley face).

    If the merger on a master page, static elements must be on a master page above and variable must be on a master BASED ON the static captain.

    If the merger on a standard page, static elements must be on the master page. The advantage with fusion on a master page is that data remain linked. The downside is that a page can contain variable data in the merged file.

    hope it makes sense.
