Data Merge Zero to 60
Wednesday, 3:45 pm – 4:45 pm
Data Merge is InDesign’s built-in, go-to tool for creating direct mail campaigns, business cards, sequential stationery, and many other “data publishing” documents. Using techniques already present in InDesign, it is possible to take a regular “stencil” to another level and provide a truly unique experience for each recipient.
Topics include:
- Best practices for preparing Data Merge projects
- Harnessing InDesign’s features to make projects more dynamic
- Advanced techniques such as changing colors or layouts during a merge
- Scripts and other methods of adding data to a project
