Frank Martinez will be showing a description and demonstration of the Data Merge feature in InDesign.

• Compare and contrast InDesign's XML features.
• Load a comma separated value (CSV) file
• Insert data placeholders into InDesign document
• Generate several pages of mailing labels.

 

Learn that Data Merge has an advantage over XML in that you can use any individual placeholder any number of times within the layout, something that can't be done with XML placeholders.

Data Merge does an excellent job in simple mail-merge type documents, like mailing labels, business cards, letterhead and so on.

Learn how XML workflows blow away Data Merge when you need to flow data over multiple pages, something that XML shines at.

Meet and greet others in the field and discover new and exciting ways of approaching creativity and business.

Also qualify to win up to $2,100 worth of Adobe Software.
