undercovergypsy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Hi - I watched a great video on how to use Data Merge. When the gal shows the steps the next area is filled with the next record. I think I have followed it properly, but I get the same record on each section on each page. I have set it up to have a repeating area which does repeat - but only the first record. Therefore, I am obviously missing something. I don't know which settings I did wrong. Can someone help? I have attached my set-up and the result. I have blocked out the sensitive information for privacy. Hopefully, you can see the important parts. Thanks to anyone who can help.

walt.farrell Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 You're still previewing, so it only shows the record you've selected in the Preview section of the Data Merge dialog. To see a different record, select it there. When you click on Generate you'll get a document with all your records.

undercovergypsy Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yep - that did it. Thanks, I actually found that I had generated a new doc, and it was buried under a pile of activity, and it was all correct. However, I didn't know why so thank you for the swift reply, and the solution to my puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
