What you'll learn

In this series of lessons, we'll focus on utilizing the Data Merge features in InDesign. We'll begin the process by learning how to dissect our project and design with variable data in mind. From there, we'll jump over to Microsoft Excel and learn how to set up and save a data source file for InDesign. Next, we'll walk through setting up data merge to fit our exact need, including using both text and image-based data. Finally, we'll learn how to build our InDesign target file so that we can plan for a data source file that will inevitably change. Software required: InDesign CS5, Microsoft Excel 2002.
