Why doesn't InDesign CS6 merge my data?

We just started working NCR for customers. As I had no idea how to merge data I had someone come and show me how to do.

My first jobs in the NCR are work sheets, so I fit two on a page and need 2 pieces of data on the.

I did the spreadsheet, as I showed and saved as a CSV file. I then used the data merge to place the info if necessary. However, when I click on create a merged document it comes up with a kind of buffering of the symbol and freezes. InDesign then follows by failing to respond.

He has really confused me because I tried again several times and at one time given, it worked right away, so I'm sure that I did it correctly the process. While I had a time stupid and forgot to save before the second set of data. I am now at square one.

Is this a problem for all of you who merges the data and what someone aware of how I can fix this?

We need to get there sooner rather than later.

No, and maybe that's the problem.

Data fusion is a process in several steps. First is to create your data file (which I think you did, if you saved the spreadsheet as .csv).

Next is to create a new 1-page file as a template. Now, go to window > utilities > DataMerge to open the data merge Panel. Idir the flyout in the data merge Panel, choose Select Data Source... and find your CSV file. You should now see line 1 and line 2 listed in the window.

Add two text frames in the document where you want the numbers and drag the line 1 tag in the first and the tag Row 2 in the second.

To the merge type, select single record per page.

Press the merge.

You should get a new file with 50 pages to 50 records.

  • Why isn't InDesign CS6 in the list?

    Hello

    I bought Indesign CS6 on the adobe.com store. But the serial number of the e-mail that they send me does not work.

    When I use the serial number, he said: you entered the serial number is valid, but there is no product calling present on this computer (translated from Dutch).

    It's probably because I can't select cs5.5 in the product list and no cs6. Why cs6 is not in the list? Even after reinstall several times.

    Help...

    It seems that you have purchased an upgrade.  First of all, you want to enter your serial number CS6.  After what will be then asked to enter the serial number for your product qualifying.  When you do that, you want to enter the serial number of the software that you upgrade.

    Thank you all for your support and your help to try to solve this problem, but on a hunch, I looked again the printer cartridges and found that the Black-light cartridge was defective, all prints come out now as it should.

  • InDesign CS6 is an updated version of the Adobe Digital Editions software?

    When I click on the Adobe Digital Editions software on the Adobe Web site on my computer, a window titled "InDesign CS6' pop - up;  When I click on the Adobe Digital Editions software on the Adobe website on my iPad, a window titled 'Adobe Digital Editions' pop-up. Why different? InDesign CS6 is an updated version of the Adobe Digital Editions software? Adivse me please.

    No, it's something completely different. InDesign is the Adobe page layout program to create printed stuff or also the electronic formats like PDF or EPUB and others. It is a program that will require a lot of how to work with.

    You must download and install ADE on your computer. If you have never worked with InDesign, it may not be what you want to use.

  • Data merge InDesign CS6 not properly position it on the page.

    July 3, 2013

    I use Indesign cs6... I worked in indesign from cs.  I did many complex data merges in 5.5 and before, but now in CS6, when I do to create the pages merged, it my first one of the centers and throw the rest out of the page.  I mean multiple images to a page.  Unique to a page works fine.

    In addition, I worked with windows xp and now I'm on a Windows 7 computer.  Don't know if that makes a difference, but thought it was worth mentioning.

    I tried all the settings in the windows of data merge.

    I tried to place on the page in different places, but when it merges it is always in the Center (first element).

    I looked for plug-ins, patches, patches online and found nothing that will help you.

    I'm running out of things to try and find any help or patches on the adobe Web site.

    I have a job with 1200 pieces (4 upwards) coming soon and I don't want to have to fix each page individually.

    Thanks in advance

    Rhonda

    You have not used the tool Page on this file, you have?

    In addition, would be worth trying a new file for the model and the copy of the presentation of the card in it (or rebuild). It can be damaged at this point.

  • Why is InDesign CS6 extremely slow loading?

    The company I work has bought for several licensed copies of more creative and since then it has been installed. I use the machine with the following characteristics:

    CPU: i7-3770 @ 3.4 (4 core, 8-wire, 8 MB cache)

    Operating systems: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, mount 7601)

    RAM: 8 GB DDR3

    V/c: Radeon HD 5450

    HARD drive: 60GB SSD OCZ Vertex 3 (primary)

    HARD drive: 1 x 2 + 1 x 1 TB SATA 3 discs.

    About 3 weeks, the machine has become unresponsive due to a problem of Photoshop CS6 64-bit with Internet Explorer. At that time, I had to kill the process in Task Manager; and since then, it has not been the same since.

    All 64-bit for Adobe Creative Suite applications, take so long to open; I can go and have a cup of coffee and come back to find that it's still bloody loading. If I charge for example, Photoshop 32 - bit edition, it loads almost immediately. What is good in the beginning, but as soon as I use the feature drop drag as I always do. Especially when I need to crop an image in high resolution, regardless of the question of whether the image in high resolution (8 MB to 16 MB) stored locally or on a server. the application takes forever and forever to load the image of crazy.

    The amount of memory allocated to the application begins to slightly more than 125 MB and then ends up to 1.5 TB; How again does not place anything except sit there idling without apparent reason.

    This morning, opening InDesign CS6, took about 10 minutes to open. I remember well, last week, I had closed all the files before you close the application itself. Then why the hell it takes this bloody time to do.

    I checked the Adobe Application Manager, and everything is up-to-date. Microsoft Windows 7 is updated. So, what else is the problem. What is services which is the source of the problem?

    Answers / Solutions please?

    Thanks in advance.

    Before I deleted fonts, I checked the time date stamp. As I also use Corel Draw X 6, a program call "Bit Font Navigator' that loads fonts from third party and gives a list; where you can choose which fonts you want, and they can be installed. The installation isn't that short, so the fonts real themselves, are not actually sitting in the fonts directory; unless of course you physically copy all this in what is rather stupid.

    Whenever I load (start-up costs) system, there is a date stamp time indicated the same day where he will automatically load the fonts from an external source in the Windows fonts directory.

    I only checked in the latest dates and subsequently deleted the fonts of this particular group; 29/04/2013. I didn't touch anything else. Regarding police Tahoma, I checked that too. It shows the date of publication 05/11/2011. Just to remind, I touched only the fonts that had the year 2013 in them.

    After a reboot later, that's when I noticed these other issues.

    Hmm... I think it's possible I could have deleted Verdana by mistake, since the timestamp of the date for it's 04/03/2013. In this case could explain the circumstances that I lived.

    Adobe strongly recommends use of PDF/X-4, which retains direct management transparency and color all the way to the INVESTIGATION period.

    PDF/X-1a is indeed antiquated for any content that uses anything other than CMYK + spot color or transparency.

    All modern PDF workflow software supports PDF/X-4. If you are printing to a PostScript RIP, Acrobat Pro (version X and XI) can print PDF/X-4 of tears (or printers) pretty well.

  • Why can I not see the Middle East feature on my verion on Indesign CS6?

    Why can I not see the Middle East feature on my verion on Indesign CS6?

    To see what features of the Middle East, you need to uninstall your current language, and then install the Middle Eastern English version.

    To do this:

    1. On Windows, uninstall from the Control Panel. On Mac OS X, use the Uninstall Adobe InDesign CS6 link under Applications > utilities > Adobe Installers.
    2. Launch the Adobe Application Manager and click on your name on the left, and on the shortcut menu, choose Preferences.
    3. Change the field of the English- language Middle Eastern.
    4. Reinstall InDesign.

  • InDesign CS6 does not work when you try to change my 10pg doc. Why? Solutions?

    My InDesign CS6 cannot work almost at all when I try to change this 10 page document.  It has great graphics, but still, what do I do?  Do you think that the file is corrupted? My InDesign works well with all other documents.  I've seen this before with a few documents pg 4 which have a lot of pictures.  Should I do the books rather than documents? I've never used the book before setting.

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    She pasted art or graphics incorporated? It is a performance killer. Working from a network or removable drive location can be a problem as well.

    You can try to do a save as to eliminate the former change of information, or export to .idml to remove minor corruption. See remove minor corruption by exporting

  • Why can't I open INDD files using exactly the same InDesign CS6 product I've used to create them?

    I tried to modify the work sent by another designer. He sent me the INDD files (as part of the packages) but I could not open in my version of Windows of InDesign CS6. My computer told me that I had not any software installed that could open the file. While searching on the forums, I thought it could use InDesign CC, that for some reason any crazy I can't open INDD files created using the CC version and so I have to send him the IDML files. OK, fine, he sent me the IDML files.

    IDML files open correctly in my version of InDesign CS6. Large. They open in the form of documents not saved, so I save them as files InDesign CS6. OK, well. Except that I can't open files INDD, that I just created. Yet once, my computer tells me that I don't have any software installed that can open the file. But how can this be? I just create the files using this software!

    If I do a test. I can't open a file that I create from scratch? N ° it seems that I can't open INDD files in my version of Windows of InDesign CS6, even if I create them from scratch. Can anyone help?

    I found an answer here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2604646

    1. I opened Windows Explorer and went to tools >... Folder Options > File Types.
    2. I selected INDD and click Advanced.
    3. I chose the action open and press edit.
    4. I went to Adobe InDesign (for some reason any, that adobe does not appear in Program Files by default, but if I go to Program Files and then type Adobe in the zone file name and touch open then I can browse the Adobe programs).
    5. I chose InDesign and press open.
    6. Then back in the editing window of action, I added '%1' in the application used to perform action text box, so that all read: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\InDesign.exe" '%1 '.
    7. I entered indesign in the Application text box and then click OK.
    8. InDesign CS6 will now open INDD files. Finally!
