Hi all,
I have two issue with Data Merge: the first is that I create a document with 10 pages with two master page, one for even and one for odd pages. Then I set the Data Merge fields in these two Master Pages, but when I go on preview I see the same data record on all the pages and when I export the document I get the same result. I seemed that this preview is only for a check, right? Doesn't better if it could load the data and display in live on the "custom" document instead of generate a new one? Could be very hard if a person must reload the entire data set in the generated target document after carrying out complex changes on this. Or there is another way to manage this scenario?
Anyway meanwhile, I modified the document removing all the pages but two (each based on a master page, one for odd and one for even). Now when I "generate", the pages of the target document are doubled whith the data set doubled. I know that is because the Data Merge take the data one time and put in the fileds two times beacuse are doubled, but there is a way to tell that the fileds are connected and the genartion must "move" to the next record row when encounter the same field in the document?
Or I must try another solution?
I hope I explained myself well, sorry for bad english.
Thanks.
