#INDESIGN DATA MERGE EMPTY FIELD NAMES HOW TO#
Now I only have to figure out how to enter additional text, comma’s, spaces or carriage returns between the fields to make it look better. Set InsertionPoint to count of characters of VarDataFrame In the Change To, leave blank, and click change all.
In the Find What field, type < FEFF > (but delete the spaces before and after those angle brackets the Stack Overflow editor seems to delete this if there are no spaces).In the example I have made now, I’ve placed is as een property for demo reasons property csvHeaderList : 1 Answer Sorted by: 0 Try doing a regular text find/change. This script is a part of a larger one which is reading the first line of a csv file as the header list. It has something to do with data merge field or data merge text placeholder In my editor I can see that the variable X contains nowīut I can’t find the right syntax to place the placeholder > in a way that it is a working placeholder instead of normal text Set contents of VarDataFrame to X - this gives an error You can find this under Window > Utilities > Data Merge. Set contents of VarDataFrame to field name of X - this results only in text To use the merge features, we will need the Data Merge panel. Set theStory to parent story of contents of VarDataFrame Set VarDataFrame to the first text frame whose label is "VarData" Set X to data merge field 5 of data merge properties When you replace the contents with the above text, it is just text and it doesn’t have the data merge abilities. I would like to fill the text frame with the placeholders with applescript. Than it is not text, but placeholders for data merge. Manually you would drag the headers in the text frame, like below But when you merge your document, you may see a blank line after the first address field That’s horrible. 5 header names visible in the merge data panel. There is a text file with 5 columns linked to this document. To make sure InDesign doesnt include them, go to the Options tab. An Indesign CS6 document consisting of one page and one empty text frame with scriptlabel VarData. TIP: You might have noticed some of our famous contacts had blank fields in our spreadsheet.
